'At approximately 0245 hours today a mail train robbery occurred between Leighton Buzzard and Cheddington, Bucks. 120 mailbags containing a very considerable sum of money are missing. It is thought that persons responsible may have hidden up and attempt to get away by mingling with normal morning traffic.' 'In the weeks that followed ... at least 18 Flying Squad Officers and often as many as 30 worked exclusively on the case ... 1,651 messages were received ... 419 searches of premises were made. ... Serious crime virtually stood still because of the tremendous increase in Criminal Investigation Department activity.' 'You are the first to be sentenced out of certainly 11 greedy men whom hope of gain allured. You and your co-accused have been convicted of complicity in one way or another in a crime which in its impudence and enormity is the first of its kind in this country. I propose to do all in my power to ensure it will also be the last of its kind. ... Let us clear out of the way any romantic notion of dare-devilry; this is nothing less than a sordid crime of violence.'
