Notorious

Strap in for a high-octane dive into the dangerous world of Britain’s most feared and ruthless armed robbers. Notorious, Volume 2: Armed Robbers explodes with the true stories of the criminal masterminds, violent blaggers, and street-level soldiers who took on banks, payroll vans, jewellers and the Flying Squad itself.

This is no glamour tale. These are the real stories behind the sawn-off shotguns, inside jobs, armed standoffs, and million-pound scores. From Mick McAvoy and the £26 million Brinks-Mat gold robbery, to Lee Murray’s jaw-dropping Securitas depot raid, Paul Allen, Brian Reader, Terry Perkins, and Daniel Jones, every chapter is like the script of a crime thriller. Only this time, it's all true.

Meet the men who lived fast, shot first, and didn’t always get away clean. Step into the smoke-filled backrooms, the slaughters and safe houses, and the brutal aftermaths where loyalty meant nothing and betrayal came with a price.

Notorious, Volume 2 also exposes the chaos of the era, how armed robbery reached its peak in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, fuelled by poor security, slow policing, and a breed of criminals who didn’t fear prison. It also reveals why those days are gone, crushed under the weight of CCTV, forensic breakthroughs, and relentless surveillance.

This is true crime with grit in its teeth. It’s raw, detailed, and written with the pulse of the street. If you want the clean version look elsewhere. If you want the truth? Press play.
