In the early hours of Thursday, 8 August 1963, sixteen masked men
ambushed the Glasgow–Euston mail train at Sears Crossing in
Buckinghamshire. Making off with a record haul of £2.6 million,
the robbers received approximately £150,000 each (over £2 million
in today’s money). While twelve of the robbers were jailed over
the next five years, four were never brought to justice – they
evaded arrest and thirty-year prison sentences, and lived out the
rest of their lives in freedom. In stark contrast to the likes of
Ronnie Biggs, Buster Edwards and Bruce Reynolds, they became
neither household names nor tabloid celebrities. Who were these
men? How did they escape detection for so long? And how, almost
sixty years later, are their names still not common knowledge? In
No Case to Answer, Andrew Cook gathers and examines decades of
evidence and lays it out end to end. It’s time for you to draw
your own conclusions.
