| Summary |
Robbers have always seen themselves as the cream of the underworld; at the top of the criminal aristocracy, in and out of prison. "Gangland Robbers" follows the stories of the men and women who go to great lengths to organise a heist which, if all goes well, should keep them in luxury for many years, if not for life. And if the heist fails, then often it is another sort of life |
