About this episode
In July of 1979 a group of brazen and sophisticated thieves orchestrated one of New York’s largest, unsolved heists by hitting the most secure room in the state: The New York Transit Authority’s Money Room.
The room contained millions of dollars in cash exchanged for subway tokens, picked up by special money trains throughout the city. All told, the thieves walked away with $600,000 utilizing a flaw in the impenetrable room’s security which had been ignored by those charged with protecting that money.
