Twelve men have been arrested over an alleged plot to remotely take control of a bank's computer.
Police arrested 11 men, aged between 23 and 50, in Kingsley Avenue, Hounslow, over an allegation of conspiracy to steal from Santander Bank.
A 34-year-old man was later arrested at Vauxhall Bridge Road in connection with the alleged plot.
Several addresses in Hounslow, Brent, Hillingdon, Westminster, Richmond and Slough were searched.
The arrested men remain in police custody.
The Metropolitan Police said Thursday's "time-critical, dynamic response" thwarted a "very significant and audacious cyber-enabled offence, and avoiding multi-million-pound losses from Santander at Surrey Quays shopping centre".
"The offence involved deploying a KVM (keyboard video mouse) device, fitted to a computer within the bank branch, allowing the transmission of the complete desktop contents of the bank computer over the network".
This allowed the remote takeover of the bank's computers, the force added.
