"The Great Gold Robbery took place on the night of 15 May 1855, when a routine shipment of three boxes of gold bullion and coins was stolen from the guard's van of the service between London Bridge station and Folkestone while it was being shipped to Paris. The robbers comprised four men, two of whom\u2014William Tester and James Burgess\u2014were employees of South Eastern Railway (SER), the company that ran the rail service. They were joined by the two planners of the crime, Edward Agar, a professional career criminal, and William Pierce, a former employee of SER who had been dismissed for being a gambler. During transit, the gold was held in \"railway safes\", which needed two keys to open. The men took wax impressions of the keys and made their own copies. When they knew a shipment was taking place, Tester ensured Burgess was on guard duty, and Agar hid in the guard's van. They emptied the safes of 224 pounds (102 kg) of gold, valued at the time at \u00A312,000 (approximately equivalent to \u00A31,193,000 in 2021), then left the train at Dover. The police and railway authorities had no clues as to who had undertaken the theft, and arguments ensued as to whether it had been stolen in England, on the ship crossing the English Channel, or on the French leg of the journey. When Agar was arrested for another crime, he asked Pierce to provide his former girlfriend and child with funds. Pierce agreed, then reneged. In need of money, she went to the governor of Newgate Prison and told him who had undertaken the theft. Agar was questioned and turned Queen's evidence. Pierce, Tester and Burgess were all arrested, tried and found guilty of the theft. Pierce received a sentence of two years' hard labour in England; Tester and Burgess were sentenced to penal transportation for 14 years. The crime was the subject of a television play in 1960, with Colin Blakely as Pierce. The Great Train Robbery, a novel by the writer and director Michael Crichton was published in 1975. It was turned into a feature film, The First Great Train Robbery, with Sean Connery portraying Pierce."@en . . . . "200"^^ .
