Welcome to episode 99, in which Ben recounts the epic story of the 1950 robbery of more than $2.7 million in cash and securities by a group of masked men from a Brink's depot in  Boston.Considered the crime of the century, it had obviously taken meticulous planning and led to years of investigative work by the FBI. Find out if the gang of thieves were able to wait out the seven-year statue of limitations, how the heist was pulled off and whether the massive haul of loot was ever recovered...And to finish things off, Claire has a round-up of recent ridiculousness from around Tasmania, complete with some brilliant and highly-amusing social media comments from the original coverage of the cases, which Ben really loved.If you would like to reach out, please email us at [email protected]
