Racecourse Road, Flemington, on Friday the 25th of January 2002; Armaguard cash in transit security officers Mohammed Tabiaat and Rebecca Mitchell pulled up in their armoured van just before 10AM. The pair were restocking 2 ATM’s with cash, but the bank branch itself was no longer operational - no staff inside. They just had to enter the premises and refill the machines from the rear.

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the Flemington Armed Robbery and the investigation into catching the two perpetrators.
