Already ranking alongside Ned Kelly in Australian folklore, ‘The Great Bookie Robbery’ was the sort of headline grabbing heist that the Sweeney would have described as one hell of a blag!

In the space of 11 minutes, an extremely well organised six-man team stole between $6-$12 million dollars from the Victoria Club in an intricately planned robbery that was carried out with commando-like precision. Unlike our own notorious Great Train Robbery, the perpetrators of The Great Bookie Robbery have never been caught and the cash never recovered. Capturing the imagination of law abiding Australians for its daring and cleanness, it even earned compliments from the victims themselves.

If this incredible true story of cunning thievery down under has piqued your interest, then you’re in luck. Thanks to our friends at Eureka Entertainment, we’ve got five copies of this thrilling mini series to give away. Retailing at £15.99, the DVD is available to buy from 20 August 2007.

If you fancy grabbing yourselves one free of charge, here’s what you need to do.
