Fame, notoriety, thrills, and money are all part of the game. Using disguises and showing bravado, some used devious or meticulous means to steal what wasn't rightfully theirs, while others simply walked into a shop or bank with a loaded weapon and demanded what cash was available. The Great Train Robbery is probably the most famous of all those carried out in the 20th century, yet, a relatively modest amount of cash was taken.

This notorious heist on the Glasgow to London mail train made celebrities of the high-profile criminals that masterminded the robbery, which was further heightened when they managed to flee from justice.

The most famous member of the 15-strong gang was Ronnie Biggs who became a notorious fugitive. From the most famous robberies including the Great Train Robbery of 1963 with a haul of GBP2.6 million, the Baker Street robbery with an estimated GBP3 million in 1971, to the Brink's-Mat robbery at Heathrow Airport in 1983, and the great financial frauds of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Crimes of the Century - Robberies, gives a fascinating insight into the masterminds behind some of the greatest robberies ever committed.
