Today the court case against two of the three people accused of involvement in the December 2004 Northern Bank robbery collapsed. Around £26.5 million was stolen in the robbery - one of the biggest in UK history. The Northern Bank is the big grey building on the left of the picture - it is right in the centre of the city, just across from the City Hall and the robbery took place on a night when the town centre was full of Christmas shoppers. So it is amazing really that nobody seemed to notice anything...

Did they ever find any of that money?
About £2million was recovered in the South of Ireland - although it was never confirmed officially that the money was from this robbery. The rest is presumably long gone - overseas or laundered.
