G4S depot manager tells of bomb threat terror

The boss of a G4S cash depot told a court he felt “terrified” when he received a letter threatening to detonate bombs under workers’ cars if he did not pay out £1million.

At Teesside Crown Court, employee Daniel Garland, 19, of Chester-lestreet, admitted a bomb hoax but denies blackmailing the security giant by sending the anonymous letter to the general manager of the site in Thornaby, Teesside, in January.

Dean Jeffels, the manager, told the court: “Going through this letter again today is terrifying.” The trial continues.
