About this product

Product Information

In the last fifty years, the changing face of British crime has turned the UK into the wild west of Europe. For decades drugs dominated the UK underworld, but in recent years a spate of major robberies - or heists - has grabbed the headlines. The first and most torious of these was the Great Train Robbery of 1963, an audacious assault on both a train and British social sensibilities, as the first modern-day crime of its kind. In this entertaining and engaging exploration of real-life British crime, seasoned underworld expert Wensley Clarkson tells the amazing stories behind the twelve most heius armed robberies ever staged in these islands. The dirty dozen of heists includes the torious Chainsaw Gang Blackwall Tunnel raid of 1975, the drama of the huge Brinksmat gold bullion robbery of 1983 and the biggest cash theft in British history - the 2006 assault on the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent, in which more than GBP53 million was taken in used bank tes. The inside stories of these dramatic crimes are told in compelling detail, including first-hand accounts and rare anecdotes.
