ABOUT
The story of the armed robbery one Friday evening in October 1984 of the Foodtown supermarket in the Auckland suburb of Birkenhead.
At the time was the countries largest armed haul where three armed men, had within three minutes, stolen $294,524 (the equivalent of over $1.1 million today).
The investigation that followed the heist soon fanned out from the North Shore suburbs to greater Auckland, into Northland and then across the Tasman to Sydney.
A classic true-crime tale including startling admissions decades later, drawn together from his extensive research and interviews with several of the key players – including both the cops and the robbers!
Includes colour images.
