Russell Grant, 42, is being hunted by police forces across the country for his role in a series of robberies on cash vans delivering to banks and supermarkets.

He is the prime suspect in raid on the Tesco supermarket in Prescot in August 2006.
A security guard was about to refill a cash machine when two men armed with a meat cleaver threatened him unless he handed over the cash.
The pair made off with thousands of pounds of cash.

Grant, the son of notorious bank robber John McVicar, also goes by the names Russell Wiltshire.

Police in Blackpool believe he was behind a daring raid in which a gun-toting robber attacked a security guard and stole thousands of pounds from a bank.

The raid took place last Friday (August 26). A security guard was making a cash delivery when a robber pointed a gun at him and ordered him to hand over the cash box.

Grant was jailed for 15 years in 1998 for stealing Picasso's Tête de Femme painting – worth £650,000 – at gunpoint from a London art gallery.
He represented himself in court and claimed during his trial that he'd been ordered to commit the crime by a bizarre cult who threatened to harm his daughter.
