The Northern Bank Robbery
Belfast, United KingdomDecember 20, 2004
On December 20, 2004, members of the IRA kidnapped two bank employees' families and used them to coerce the workers into helping steal £26.5 million from the Northern Bank in Belfast — the largest bank robbery in UK history. The money was never fully recovered. The IRA denied involvement, but police and governments were certain of their guilt.
