Crew were seen filming the BBC dramatization of the Brink’s-Mat robbery at a mansion where Kenneth Noye, the M25 killer, stabbed and killed a policeman.
The criminal murdered Detective Constable John Fordham on his Kent estate in 1985.
The officer’s loved ones could be very traumatized by the footage, which can trigger terrible memories.

The Brink’s Mat robbery inspired a new BBC One drama. Filming was taken at Kenneth Noye’s old home in Meopham. England.
At the time of his death, the 45-year-old policeman was investigating Noye’s involvement in the laundering of £26million of gold bullion from the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery.
The BBC says the six-part drama – The Gold – is inspired by the robbery.
Noye’s mock-Tudor mansion was bought by its current owner, Sophia Anderson, for £2.8million in 2006 and went on sale in 2017 – again for £2.8million – but it doesn’t appear to have sold.
Although he’s not listed on the deeds her husband Michael Anderson has listed many firms at the address.
Mr Anderson, the ex-vice-chairman of Gillingham Town FC who ran a Florida-based drugs company, is currently facing extradition to the US where he has been charged with fraud amounting to £4.4million.
Kenneth Noye, now 74, was cleared of murdering the policeman after a jury accepted his claim of self-defence. For handling stolen gold bullion, Noye was imprisoned in 1986.

Grand jury has indicted him on charges that he was involved in an alleged scheme to defraud US military healthcare systems. His wife is believed to be in the process of divorcing.
Yesterday it was announced that Hugh Bonneville would play the lead role in The Gold, along with Mamma mia’s Dominic Cooper. The roles of the actors are not known.
After a jury agreed to Noye’s claim of self-defense, he was cleared of the murder of the officer. In 1986, he was sentenced for dealing with stolen gold bullion.
In 1996, Stephen Cameron was killed by him on an M25 sliproad in a fit rage.
Yesterday night, although a BBC spokesperson refused to comment on the matter, a source claimed that Mr Fordham would be not featured in the drama.
