Heist: The Northern Bank Robbery

"Two of Northern Ireland’s leading journalists, shed new light on one of the most notorious crimes in UK-Irish history – the Northern Bank robbery."

In 2004 armed men coerced two bank employees into stealing £26.5 million from the Northern Bank in Belfast. Now, almost two decades later, two journalists revisit the unsolved case and look at the police investigation, legal prosecution, and how suspected ties to the IRA influenced the Northern Ireland peace process.
