Four alleged cyber plotters accused of stealing £1.3m from a high street bank by taking control of its computer system are due to apear in court later.
It follows the arrest of eight men suspected of targeting a branch of Barclays bank in Swiss Cottage, north London.
Tony Colston-Hayter, 47, of Seymour Street, Marylebone, central London, is charged with conspiracy to steal.
Michael Victor Harper, a 26-year-old estate agent of Kiln Place, Hampstead, northwest London, Darius Bolder, 34, and Lewis James Murphy, 29, both of Ebury Bridge Road, Chelsea, central London, are accused of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation.
Bolder also faces an additional charge of conspiracy to steal.
All have been remanded in custody until their appearance at Westminster Magistrates Court.
The other four men have been bailed to a central London police station on dates in late November pending further inquiries.
Police carried out a secret intelligence operation following the theft in April.
It is believed somebody posing as an engineer planted a "keyboard video mouse" (KVM) - which can be purchased online for as little as £10 and is the size of a small laptop computer - at the branch.
That allowed thieves to transmit the contents of the computer's desktop, take control of the machine remotely and access accounts.
Alex Grant, Barclays' managing director of fraud prevention, said the bank "acted swiftly to recover funds" on the day of the theft and that no customers suffered financial loss.
