As the woman in the Bureau de Change was leaving he slipped into the kiosk. He started to serve customers, just giving them wedges of cash, as he clearly had no idea about exchange rates.

He apparently wore a glove, knew the code for the safe, punched it in, and was able to empty it.

At one point a senior member of the Asda staff walked passed while he was in the kiosk and even spoke to him but he just kept up the pretence – as cool as you like.

Apparently the code to the bureau safe had not been changed for ages. He must have been in a few times and done his homework.
