The Brilliant Brinks Robbery
Episode description
The lead-up to the robbery of a Brinks facility in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, on January 17, 1950 took almost three years of meticulous planning and careful surveillance. Oh, and for some reason, like way too many people. And that, my friends, would end up being their downfall. As you’ll soon see, the more people involved, the harder it is to keep a secret. Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
