The Great Train Robbery | Crime Magazine
In August of 1963, 15 men pulled off “The Great Train Robbery,” at Sears Crossing in Buckinghamshire in southeast England, netting the equivalent of $68.5 million in today’s dollars. Of the £2,631,684 stolen, less than £400,000 was ever recovered.
The mastermind, known as “the Ulsterman,” would never be identified. One of the robbers, Ronnie Biggs, became an international celebrity after escaping from prison.
