Two arrested in huge England heist

(CNN) -- Two people have been arrested in connection with the multi-million-dollar armed robbery in southeast England, police say.

Detectives from Kent police's serious and major crime squad arrested a 29-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman in the London area, according to a police statement Thursday.

The arrests come after Wednesday's robbery at a security depot in which an armed gang stole at least £25 million ($44 million) in cash after abducting the manager, his wife and their 8-year-old son.

The two are being held at police stations in Kent, where they're being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery.
