The Knightsbridge Safety Deposit Box Raid

Overview

Italy’s most wanted criminal, Valerio Viccei, arrives on UK shores after being hunted for over 50 separate armed robberies in his native country. Viccei wastes no time robbing the best of British banks to feed his lifestyle and hunger for danger. In 1987 his final payday proved to be one of the largest heists ever recorded in British history. With a small gang, he robbed a safety deposit box centre in Knightsbridge and fled with £40 million worth of valuables. Viccei’s plan was eventually rumbled after some mistakes were made at the scene of the crime. He became Scotland Yard’s number one suspect after a blood stained finger print was found in the vault. What followed was an international hunt for the thief, associates and the loot ending in a spectacular showdown at Marble Arch in Viccei’s Ferrari Testarossa sports car.
