This is one of the best insights into that world. I felt like I was there with him in that heist

Dude looks like Bruce Willis mixed with John Cleese

Maddest thing is I did a removal job at that exact building taking out data this January because it’s been turned into flats , that’s actually crazy cause I can see the building as he’s explaining it. Sick guy 🎉

British Bruce Willis. What a story. I've often sat at home or at work thinking about other people around the world going about their daily lives and often wondering if at that very moment someone was sat in a rented warehouse planning a heist or the likes. Im sure its not as glamorous as the movies portray it but what a ride. Thanks for sharing your story Terry. Sounds like you have it sussed and living your best life now. Good luck.

You just know this guy is well-off. Not just because nothing was recovered, but 8 men of the 10 man heist walked free. And the two caught clearly had the bottle not to grass. Immense respect. This is the real deal.

This guy has done almost 20 different podcasts telling his story and I have listened to every single one. He has lived it at the very top of the ladder in the underworld. All the best Terry.

Stories like this are just fascinating. We need more of them

Only 2 of 10 were ever caught... That's some kind of professionalism right there! This guy would've been a great special forces operator or maybe an intelligence guy. The mental fortitude of maintaining your cool while under that kind of pressure is impressive, not to mention the fact that most normal people would come down with a severe case of spontaneous IBS! 🤣💩 I know there's going to be one of those 8 men reading these comments, no doubt in my mind that you're reading... It's ironic that to many layers of security become a security vulnerability!? So we'll protected that it causes everyone to drop their guard.

2/10 nicked! That would never happen these days! Both held down the bird for the other. Nothing recovered either hahahah amazing

The sad part is that despite his lack of nurturing as a child he is clearly very intelligent

Never knew Bruce Willis had such a messed up childhood

Wow what a story. I grew up in children's homes too and left at 16. Mad how the system works. Inspiring guy 🙌🏻

I've listened to this story a few times and always been engrossed. You never glorify your past unlike a lot of people. Respect and best wishes for the future 👍

Makes you think that if security firms proactively reached out to ppl like that they would really be able to lawfully apply their talents and get a way out of the dark side. The guy is really talented he deserved a chance in life…

Congratulations terry and thank you for sharing your jaw dropping and inspirational story on our podcast

Mad thing is, pretty much everywhere he mentions about his life - Camden Town where he grew up, Hampstead where he was in care, Kings Cross where the robbery was and Pentonville where he was in prison are all in about a 2 mile radius of each other. Nice local job 😂

“Take em to black ballys(balaclavas) R Us” what a whimsical way to say we robbed them lol

The plan was unbelievable. My only question is, with so many guards, how did you have so many pairs of cuffs 😂

You can just tell that, if this guy had taken another path in life he probably would've still achieved something impressive. He seems very intelligent and calm under pressure and, even though he as a criminal, he seems to have principles (such as not grassing up his colleagues).
