For decades drugs dominated the UK underworld, but in recent years several major robberies - or heists - have grabbed the headlines. The first and most notorious of these was the Great Train Robbery of 1963, an audacious assault and the first modern-day crime of its kind. In this entertaining and engaging exploration of real-life British crime, underworld expert Wensley Clarkson tells the stories behind the twelve most daring armed robberies ever staged in the UK.
