The man with the supposed German accent subsequently turned out to be from Sheffield - he was something of a fantasist and put on the accent as part of his persona. He was 39 year old former soldier John Calton. He and the gang had also previously committed similar crimes against managers of Barclays and NatWest. Calton led a bizarre life posing as a German playboy. He was subsequently arrested at a hotel in Wales. I think Crimewatch reconstructed his arrest in October 1991
The early 1990s saw the UK go into deep recession, and an accompanying very steep rise in unemployment and crime. By 1991, a car was being stolen in the UK every second. It was the era of joyriders, ram raiders and riots.
