INTERPOL in Hong Kong has had to make a second request for the fingerprints of two men arrested in Austria suspected of being connected with the world's biggest ever cash robbery.

The prints appear to have been lost after being sent through Interpol from Vienna on March 6.

Simon Lee Wing-kong, of Hong Kong Interpol, said: 'We are not sure what has happened but we have contacted Interpol in Austria and asked them to send the prints again.' The prints could link the suspects to the $167 million robbery at Kai Tak airport in July 1991.
