The Great Train Robbery

The Great Train Robbery was a famous criminal event in 1963 in England, where a gang hijacked a Royal Mail train carrying cash. Using careful planning, they stopped the train en route, overpowered the crew, and stole about £2.6 million (equivalent to millions today). The robbery was innovative for its time, involving coordinate coordination and detailed preparation. Most of the stolen money was recovered later, and several gang members were arrested and convicted. The incident remains one of the most notorious and elaborate train heists in history, highlighting both criminal ingenuity and law enforcement challenges.
