The Great Train Robbery is one of the most
famous crimes in British history. It took place
on the 8th August 1963, when 15 armed robbers
stole £2.6 million in banknotes from a train that
was travelling from Glasgow to London.
The robbers stopped the train and told the
driver to take it to the next bridge. They didn’t
use any guns, but they hit the train driver over
the head with an iron bar. He didn’t die, but he
was badly injured. The robbers put the money
into some bags and, then, at the bridge, they
took the bags off the train and put them into
some cars that were waiting for them. It was
very well organised and all the robbers escaped.
The robbers then went to a farmhouse in the
English countryside, and waited there for two
days. They played a game called Monopoly,
because they were bored. The problem was that
they didn’t wear gloves while they were playing
the game. When the police arrived at the
farmhouse five days later, the robbers weren’t
there, but the police found their fingerprints
on the Monopoly board. The police soon
arrested most of the robbers in London and
they went to prison.
