Four men were charged in connection with last month’s robbery of an estimated $47 million in cash, jewelry and silver from a London safe deposit center. Scotland Yard gave that revised estimate of the value of the robbers’ haul, up from the original figure of $32 million. The new estimate makes the July 12 robbery of the Knightsbridge Safe Deposit Center the biggest ever in Britain, surpassing the $41.6 million taken at Heathrow Airport in 1983. Police said they raised the estimate after recovering hundreds of stolen items, some from other safe deposit boxes, in raids the last two days. The four men charged include two Israelis, an Italian and an Englishman.
