πŸ” Discover the story behind one of Canada's most daring bank heists.

The 1977 Vancouver Safety Deposit Vaults robbery captivated the nation and continues to raise questions nearly five decades later.

Join Vancouver author Don Levers for a fascinating look at the case, drawing on years of research into police archives and historical news reports to uncover the people, events, and unanswered questions about the case that many witnesses still refuse to discuss.
