Information
------------------------------
Money. Some people have it; others plot to take it.
From the narrow streets of Nice to the gleaning corridors of Wall Street, DARING CAPERS tracks some of the world's most fascinating criminals and their audacious crimes. Here's a rogue's gallery of bank robbers, art thieves, and debonair con artists who tried to steal their way to wealth through brilliant ploys and slick transactions. Their methods may amuse, their exploits may amaze, but their determination to make an easy buck is no laughing matter!
These are the stories of some of the most outlandish and unlawful get-rich-quick schemes ever exposed. Some were even successful. At least so far.
Tunnel under the streets of Nice, France with international thief Albert Spaggiari to relieve a bank of it's assets; escape with S8 million in cash, gems and gold from the Lufthansa Air Cargo terminal at Kennedy Airport; and slip into the world's finest homes with legendary cat burglar Blane David Nordahl, leaving with only the best pieces of silver. These daring felons have vastly different styles, but each shares a genius for larceny and a brash disrespect for the law.
The high-rise burglar, the daring jewel thief, the tunneling bank robbers, the Italian playboy who is more than he appears and the 'Queen of Jewels' whose exploits baffled her pursuers; these are just a few of the rogues you'll meet in this amazing, amusing and entertaining collection of world-class criminals!
Through dramatizations, news footage and interviews with witnesses and law enforcement officials, DARING CAPERS: TRUE CRIME STORIES takes you down the moral low road into the enticingly dangerous, devilish world of the criminal in 20 edge-of-your-seat episodes, originally aired on TLC, The Learning Channel.
Produced by New Dominion Pictures for TLC
3) Armored Robbery
Fed up with his S7-an-hour job, a security guard at an armored car company makes off with S18.8 million- the largest heist in U.S. history. Philip Johnson had a S7-an-hour job as a security courier, but he dreamed of bigger things. On March 29, 1997, his dream came true when he made off with S18.8 million from his employer, Loomis, Fargo & Co, in Jacksonville, Florida. He'd planned the crime for years, gradually accumulating fake identifications, casually scoping out Loomis, Fargo's operation. Friends had no idea what he was planning. Then one night he kidnapped two co-workers, loaded the cash - in unmarked tens and twenties into a van and fled. The co-workers were released unharmed, but Johnson and the cash (which weighed nearly 1,000 pounds) were gone. It was the largest heist in U.S. history -- a glorious crime, but a short-lived one. In September, 1997, Johnson, travelling under an assumed name, was flushed out during a routine inspection of a bus crossing from Mexico to Texas. He was carrying more than S10,000 in his pockets. The FBI recovered all but S100,000 of the money in a storage unit in North Carolina.
