Keith Johnson

Keith Johnson was a friend of Derek Warner. In October 1985, Keith, Derek and Harry Mowlam robbed a security van, witnessed by Sandie Merrick. Harry bragged about his new-found riches, worrying Keith and Derek. Derek initally got Keith to ruff Harry up a bit to keep his mouth shut. Harry was murdered in January 1986, initally thought to have been by Matt Skilbeck but later revealed to be Derek. After this, Keith began helping himself to the loot and getting caught on numerous occasions. In April 1986, Derek found Keith digging up the loot yet again, and held him hostage with a gun. Sgt MacArthur soon arrived as he had suspected they robbed the security van and the pair made a run for it. Derek got away but Keith wasn't so lucky and was caught.
