On the anniversary of this infamous crime, we ask - how would it be investigated if it happened in 2015?
52 years ago, on a quiet piece of track somewhere in Buckinghamshire, a Royal mail train was held up by a gang of 15 men, robbing it of the large quantity of cash it was hauling to London. After a successful raid, they made off with £2.6 million (equivalent £50m today) and although most of the gang were eventually arrested and imprisoned, it required one of the largest criminal investigations in UK history. As such, we’ve decided to have a look at how the robbers may have been caught by electronic or computer based evidence if it had been attempted in 2015.
