The Brinks Job The $2.7 Million Boston Robbery

Описание: The Brinks Job: The $2.7 Million Boston Robbery - The Crime of the Century
Dive into the incredible true story of the Great Brinks Robbery, one of the most meticulously planned and successful heists in American history!

On January 17, 1950, a crew of small-time Boston criminals, led by mastermind Tony "Fats" Pino, pulled off what the media quickly dubbed the "Crime of the Century." After years of surveillance and planning, including stealing and copying keys and alarm system plans, a masked gang entered the Brink's Armored Car depot in the North End of Boston. In a mere 30 minutes, they tied up five employees and escaped with a record-breaking haul of over $2.7 million in cash and securities (the equivalent of over $36 million today!).

The robbers left almost no clues—just a chauffeur's cap and the ropes used to bind the workers—baffling the FBI and police for nearly six years. Learn how their careful plan fell apart not because of the law, but because of a bitter dispute over dividing the spoils, ultimately leading to the confession of Joseph "Specs" O'Keefe.
