Surely the old bill would have maybe an unmarked car with armed police following the truck discreetly behind for loads such as this? Imagine a tip off to a major criminal gang, the truck gets hijacked and the trucker gets beaten up or maybe worse.

The police were armed with ‘powerful’ rifles. What would they use the powerless ones?[/quote
As usual the press exaggerate - the standard arms used by armed response are 9mm Glock 17 pistols and Heckler and Koch MP5 9mm semi-auto carbines, which are not strictly rifles.

You can bank on them reinforcing the head board on those trailers in the future.
Bet the driver got a free lunch that day, get out to inspect the damage pick up a tenner or so in coins. Nobody will miss that in the count.
I bet they wee tiny pallets full of coins weighs a ton easily ■■■■ picking awe that up. Just let the locals loose for 30 seconds to clean it up.
