BBC News - Shot Mark Nunes and Andrew Markland &#039;had armour-
piercing bullets&#039;  Two robbers shot dead by police marksmen
were armed with armour-piercing bullets, an inquest heard. Mark
Nunes, 35, and Andrew Markland, 36, both from London, were shot
as they held up a G4S van in Hampshire in 2007. The inquest at
Winchester Coroner's Court heard officers discussed arresting
the pair, who were on their way to a raid on a cash van. The
jury heard the two armed robbers had not been arrested before
because of a lack of evidence. Retired Hampshire Assistant Chief
Constable Steve Watts told the hearing he had given the
Metropolitan Police the authority to control the operation as
the pair attempted to rob a cash van outside the HSBC bank in
Chandlers Ford.
