Description
An ex-police officer teams up with his two most famous criminals! The brothers John and Ronnie Knight planned their crimes meticulously, calculated the risks and had flair, intelligence, humour and style. John's masterwork was Britain's biggest ever cash haul - from the Security Express depot in Shoreditch, on the fringes of the City of London, on Easter Monday 1983. Months - even years - of planning spectacularly paid off: when the police arrived on the scene of the crime GBP6M (much of it the takings from the Ideal Home Exhibition!) was missing, and not a clue to trace the perpetrators.Detective Superintendent Peter Wilton and his crack 'Dirty Dozen' stumbled on their first breakthrough when investigating another robbery. After several rounds in a battle of wits, of interrogations and betrayals, justice was dispensed: John served a 12 year sentence, and Ronnie, who had escaped to the Costa del Sol, did his time on return from his famous exile. While the police are still relentlessly tracking down the three gang members who have so far evaded capture, Wilton and the Knights remained fascinated by each other's role in the heist and its cracking. In this unprecedented book, they have teamed up to tell the full story - the hunter and the prey.
