## Resource

For six terrifying years, a gang of robbers carried out over twenty raids on banks and Post Offices across Merseyside, stealing around £1.5 million. Armed, masked and highly organised, they spread fear among staff and communities whilst evading capture time and time again. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at how the gang operated, the impact on their victims, and how through great police work, the gang were brought to justice.
