A Formidable Robbery Duo, they raided Banks And Building Society’s across country. Tickford Capri,

It was a Crimewatch case that stood out...... a jewellers raid with rare a white tickford capri getaway car,after the robbery at D J Massey Jewellers the car was dumped and so was the the sawn off argyle shotgun.The shotgun was thought would produce at least some leads to go on but it resulted in nothing.. no prints were found on gun or car,the distinctive ultra rare tick ford capri which was double the amount of a normal capri produced no leads also,appeals carried on for several months but turned up nothing.Several arrests were made but the suspects were later released without charge. further appeals by police would go nowhere. It was a case that would go cold very quickly a year later in 1987 a string of armed building society and post office robberies held up by 2 men, but the locations were widespread and ranging across country,the money from the raids was between £9000 and £20,000 the other raids averaged lower takes from £2000 to 5000 from smaller post offices.Each raid was professional and precise and carried in city's villages or remote towns there was no favoured choice,.but soon after months of nothing police would get the breakthrough that was needed.
