Top 10 Largest Bank Robberies in Modern History
#10. The
Great Train Robbery
Buckinghamshire, UK - 1963
Stolen: £.2.6 million ($4.1 million)
This finely orchestrated operation to intercept a Royal Mail train
full of high-value packages (en route from Glasgow) was devised over
the course of several months. A gang of 15 robbers hatched and
executed the now-legendary plan, which involved rigging the
trackside signals to stop the train in a remote location, where the
conductor was overpowered and the loot was stolen. Unsurprisingly,
it's served as the inspiration for a whole crop of films and books
since.
