The Eastcastle Street Robbery: A 1950s London Heist Shrouded in Mystery This evocative image from the Illustrated London News, dated 1952, captures the scene of one of the most intriguing unsolved crimes in London's history: the Eastcastle Street Robbery. On a rainy autumn day, a Post Office mail van, registration number LJ 5221, was hijacked as it made its routine delivery along Eastcastle Street, in the heart of the city. The thieves, armed with bolt cutters, managed to make off with an astonishing £200,000 in soiled notes, leaving behind only the van's empty cargo hold and a few telling clues. The photograph reveals the stolen mail van, its doors ajar and its interior stripped bare. Raincoats and bolt cutters, the tools of the crime, lay discarded nearby, adding to the intrigue. The scene was a hive of activity for Scotland Yard investigators, who scoured the area for any potential clues. Yet, despite extensive investigations, the criminals were never identified, and the stolen money was never recovered. The Eastcastle Street Robbery remains a captivating mystery in the annals of London crime history. The 1950s heist, with its audacious execution and elusive perpetrators, continues to intrigue and fascinate, offering a glimpse into the shadows of London's criminal underworld during a bygone era.
