LONDON CRIME - Barry Faulkner
- An in-depth history of the geezers, the gangs and the major heists in the UK 1930s - present day
An in-depth look at the major London criminals, their gangs, their robberies and murders from the 1930s to the present day. Starting with the Messina Brothers in the 1930s who introduced people trafficking and major prostitution to the Capital through to the Hatton Garden Heist and the current crop of gangs. On the way through we visit all the major heists including Brinks Mat, Great Train Robbery, Baker Street bank Robbery, Knightsbridge Safe Deposit robbery and many more and take a look at the masterminds who planned them and carried them out and what happened afterwards. When millions of pounds are involved loyalties are broken and bodies turn up. We look at the Krays, the Richardsons, John Palmer, McVitie, Cornell, Fraser, Reynolds, Biggs and the other 'names' with much new information. Barry Faulkner is the youngest of an extended family of South London villains operating in the 50s - 90s and although not involved himself that world he grew up in had given him an insight rarely seen.
