The Great Train Robbery is one of the most famous crimes in British history. But why? Well, it’s hard to say. Other robbers stole more money, such as the men who stole 53 million pounds from a security depot in 2006, and other robberies were more violent. Nobody died during the Great Train Robbery, and the robbers only took 2.6 million. Not only that, but the Great Train Robbery took place many years ago – on 8th August 1963, in fact. So what happened? Well, 15-armed robbers stopped a train that was travelling from Glasgow to London by changing a green “go” light to a red “stop” light on the railway line. When the train stopped, the robbers got on the train and told the driver to take it to the next bridge. They didn’t use guns but they hit the train driver on the head with an iron bar, hurting him badly. The robbers put the money into bags, and then, at the bridge, they took the bags off the train and put them into cars that were waiting for them. It was very well organized, and all the robbers escaped. The robbers went to a farmhouse in the English countryside and waited 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 game. The police soon arrested the robbers in London, and they all went to prison.
