The Soldier, the Spy, and the $385,000 bank heist

It's just after midnight on March 19th, 1998. Two Brink's guards push through the south entrance of Calgary's North Hill Shopping Centre, bags heavy with cash — $385,000 bound for the CIBC branch inside.They don't know it yet, but two men are already waiting for them inside the darkened bank. Men dressed in fake security uniforms. Men armed with AK-47 assault rifles, military-grade tear gas, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.What happens next will shatter the silence of that empty mall — more than eighty-eight shots fired in a point-blank gunfight — and launch an investigation that would stretch from Calgary to Ottawa, from the barracks of Canada's elite military units to the docks of Cherbourg, France, and deep into the violent world of South African white supremacists.This is the story of a decorated soldier, a self-styled spy, and the most spectacular armoured car robbery attempt in Canadian history.Send us Fan Mailwww.canadiancrimecast.com
