How I Robbed A Bank While Wearing A Burqa | Minutes With | @LADbible

her car's pulled up in front all the windows started coming through bam bam all the guns are out i'm seeing old bill standing everywhere next thing the windows have all busted in all the windows have come through i mean i've been pulled out the back window of the car [Music] the first time i ever went to prison was for a big police chase all around central london park lane marla burn crashed into a police car side planet and green police station carried on going went up park laying the wrong way had police cars crash into me there stung my tires out and that was my first my first prison sentence going through the prison system it just made me bitter it made me feel like i could just do whatever i like and commit crime as and well and as i'm well i fit if i want it i'm taking it and no one could do it or say anything about it and that's exactly how my attitude was and what i would do is just walk walk around the streets of london literally and i would look at things in cars and i would smash the windows and i'd take the phones or the laptops and it was literally walking the pavements of london every day all day every day just trying to find something to steal so i could sell it so i could get a bit of money so i could get food you know i went from being a small-time criminal to progressing to progressing so you could just imagine as you start off small and you progress you become you start training your skills and i've done that for i did that for years uh becoming a criminal and just basically bit by bit going through the criminal world going bigger going bigger going bigger i don't know why the criminal people look at i think bank robbers are the best thing but they do unfortunately um me and nick my co-defendant we decided well we suppose how can we rob this place how can we rob a bank on broad daylight without any weapons without any one questioning us so before well burke's burgers is the best way because you're completely covered from head to toe you can't see your face you can wear gloves and you can blend into any situation like you're in london streets and it only takes a second to pull that disguise off and you're back in civilian clothes so we've gone to regent's park mosque and i've gone into the clothing section and there was a load of muslim women in there as well as everybody else and i'm trying on these dresses me and nick are trying them on and i'm looking at nick nick's looking at me he's like yeah you look good i'm like yeah you look good instead of taking them off and then walking out the shop and paying for them like we do normally nick's like can we wear him and i've looked at him i was like really he's like yeah let's wear them it'll be fun this is where our mentality this is where i understand we was not thinking correctly um we're just in it for the for the glory i think that's what it was i paid 80 pounds for my dress nick paid 80 pound for his dress and then we've left the with leicester mosque um as we're walking out um the security guards obviously seen the two of us with big big built men we've got big shoulders we've got big arms and we don't look like women plus we're dressed in burkas so the shape of our body giving us a way straight away plus our height so he's come he's seen us both of us obviously he's gone for the smaller one which would be me um as he's come to me obviously my whole thing is i can't let him detain me so i've just dealt with him as quick as i could put him on his ass and and got out there but because of that because i've just dropped this guy and he's now screaming his head off for the whole all the people to see next thing like literally i would say at least 150 people started chasing me and my buddy nick um so i'm running him in the burka trying to get my keys out my pocket nick's run off that way he's getting chased by a load of people i'm running jumped in my car shaking like a leaf because i've got all these people chasing me i've locked the door put the key in the ignition and as i'm tearing off literally people are jumping on the car pulling bits off mirrors are coming off windscreens and wipers are coming off and then i'm gone but then obviously i've gone around the corner to my mates house uh who lives in the green listen green estate and then uh from there we just we decided right let's go let's let's do this thinking back we didn't think that that situation would even affect our path that's how naive i would say we were we've met up we're like you ready we're like yep sweet so then we've gone to kilburn high road and that's when we've robbed the bank literally about an hour later we're in the banking for you we're waiting for the guy to go and um and it was just by luck for us that day there was uh there was a couple of muslim people actually in the bank genuine muslim ladies and they were fully dressed in burkas as well so we've sort of blended into these this little crowd of people yeah so we're in the bank and we're moving forward with the queue um and the next thing um the security guard that's carrying the money to and from the bank is right beside me now and right beside the shoot is where he puts the money in and then it's on a safe that turns within the banking area so he's putting the money in there but what happens normally is they'll come in with the box he opens the box up takes the bag of cash out which was 25 000 pound holds it in his hand and scans it with had handheld terminal finger as he's done that he puts the money into the safe as he's done that i've grabbed him and i flung him across the bank not in no weapons nothing nothing major because we were only young we never ever had intentions of hurting anyone that's exactly we was not there to hurt people we were one there for the glory because we wanted to hit the papers being dressed in burkas robbing banks that's what we was like we were freaking stupid kids i've thrown in my mates grabbed their cash and then we've run out the bank jumped in the car the getaway car which was parked right outside the bank and then we've gone um crashed the car a few miles away and i end up crashing the car and then we've run through a park i've end up putting taking the dress off i put the dress in the bin in one of them dog bins and then the police obviously they found that they found my dna on that they've got the picture from the mosque so i was just done i was guilty as hell i couldn't couldn't get out of it so i played guilty straight away got um i ended up getting three years for that did it give you a sort of status in prison yeah it did yeah yeah especially when i've seen all the stuff in the newspaper i've come out of prison and i had um i had the mentality that i was untouchable i thought i was i generally thought i was i thought i was better than the police and my lifestyle then became more erratic more i was full of hate i hated it like i hated the police i hated the world that i lived in i hated everyone i literally generally hated everybody at that precise time in my life i'd um i'd broken up with my partner who i was with for 10 years i had three kids with her um and the relationship was was not good um obviously i was taking alcohol i was taking drugs at that time in my life because that was the lifestyle unfortunately someone else had then informed me that they know where um they know where a property the property developer lives that has large quantities of jewelry in their house so we've gone we've traveled to radler hertfordshire and i sat outside this house for four or five hours waiting for this person to come back the lady's come back she's pulled up her big metal gates have opened up at the front of her house the big gates have closed behind her she's driving a silver mercedes convertible mercedes into the house and i was i was just concentrating on the money i wasn't caring about the victim i wasn't thinking about how i was going to make her feel or the effects that i would have on her life after we have just robbed her i didn't think about that all i thought about was i just want to get it over and done with it as soon as possible get what we need to do sell that get the money and then i can i can worry about what i'm going to do another couple of days down the line once the money's gone that's that's that was my attitude what's happened to her is she's been put on the floor and all her jewelry was removed i fed there and then on the spot watches rings bracelets necklaces earrings and stuff like that which is bad mate and i hate even talking about this now we need to go into her house and cut open the safe and get there get the jewelry out the safe because that's what we're there for we're not there for what's on her we're on we're there for what's in the safe but because we're going to the safe we're going to take everything off her as well because it just makes sense in for a penny in for a pound and so we've we've robbed this lady um and i remember the her face was well i can't explain it it was horrible she she petrified me and it made me feel sick it just i just i i thought now mate so i've run i left the building i've grabbed my lads and we've run i've run got in the car drove off um next thing a big whack has come from the left-hand side of the car i think it was the left yeah now yeah it was the left-hand side a big smashing from the left-hand side and i've looked and all i can see is guys jumping out of cars pulling out guns and putting caps on and obviously i knew straight away i was flying towards the police so i've screamed at my drive at the driver and go is this old bill this old bill next thing enough of police cars crashed into the side of this car the cars pulled up in front all the windows started coming through bam bam all the guns were out i'm seeing old bill standing everywhere pointing machine um hand guns at me next thing the windows have all busted in all the windows have come through i mean i've been pulled out the back window in the car right and we got hiding for it like literally we got to beat him but rightly so we just robbed the lady we needed a beating and and we did and we got it we got what we deserved we get rested we go to the police station uh i get taken to colindale police station um i'm in prison and we start getting all our case papers our depths record all our paperwork starts coming through and in the paperwork it's got a thing called an impact statement now this this impact statement is the impact of your offense that what the offence you've committed on that person the impact of that crime she then tells or he sells what what the impact is on them and in her statement um she explained how she felt she felt afraid obviously she felt i think she felt but what changed me and changed my whole outlook on crime and outlook on absolutely everything was the fact that when she was being robbed she got turned over she got turned over so we could control her but she at that point she thought she was going to be raped which makes me feel disgusting mate because i've been raped i've been raped loads i had uh parents that um were quiet see my mum was good my stepdad weren't so good my my real dad he was terrible he slit his throat when i was one um in front of me and my brother yeah then a few years passed my mother left my dad left my father and then my mum met my stepdad he became abusive and aggressive and used to beat my mum all the time my mum left me with a babysitter whilst she left me with a babysitter the babysitter raped me um basically the person that raped me was a red boy and he was 14 years old and uh my mum used to um let this boy babysit me um after that i became very angry very very very um dysfunctional as a child i got to the age of about four or five years of age and my behavior was so unstable and i was such a danger to myself and others around me they um they put me in these traumatized place for children for young kids kids that suffer from sexual abuse and trauma and my behavior would deteriorate there and i would be restrained held down by members of staff mainly four men normally so i'd have two men holding me down at the top two men holding my legs down um and i'd be in a white padded room there was white padded it was like a safety room for damaged children should we say um i got to the age of about six years old and and then what happened was social services because i've been going through the system now for three years from the age of three up until the age of six uh everything they tried with me failed so what they did decide to do was then put me into care and they put me in a place called the marby bush in oxfordshire and that is for trauma um young traumatized kids got kicked out and i went to a place called fort shirlen road in central london um and that is where i was there for probably no more than two weeks and then i got sent to another place up in kent the worst thing about being in kent was i met a kid um he introduced me to some other guy and i thought this excuse was my friend i was only nine at the time um and they've ended up taking me away and then they both raped me in the field they'd done that and the thing is i never told anyone about this i never told no one because one i was so ashamed about what happened to me too i was i didn't think anyone would believe me at this stage in my life my mother wasn't she didn't like me i don't think that she liked me she i just i can't understand her thinking behind it but mine and her relationship was so bad at this stage that i would go to her house and she wouldn't let me in this was going on for so long my little sister my little sister kelly would bring me out blankets cigarettes and food and leave it on the balcony for me and i and i did that for a long time did you feel like people were making an effort to understand why you were running away definitely not definitely not and that's where it goes wrong in a system like you've got so many young kids that are mentally like they're damaged kids mate i was a very damaged child i experienced so much bad stuff in my early life that it made me completely different to everyone else and i didn't even know how to fix that a lot of the children's homes there's a lot of abuse that goes on in these places like a lot and this is what the public don't hear about like there's a lot of kids abusive towards each other um so you've got a lot of sexual abuse going on in them places you've got a lot of um bullying going on in them places and it's just not a nice place to be i'm not saying all of them places are like that but every single one that i've experienced has um so then i've come out of care absolutely clueless i don't know how to read i don't know how to write i don't know how to pay bills i don't know how to drive properly i can drive because i've known how to steal cars but i don't know how to apply for a job and social services never gave me anything like that they never taught me how to read they never taught me how to write they never taught me how to manage money management because i was lacking all of them skills the only thing i could put my hands to was was crime i never woke up decided that i want to be a thug today it was a lifestyle that was pushed upon me you know i mean and that's not an excuse it's just the way it was i was always hunting for something that i didn't know what existed and that a lot is love and i mean and having a family unit having a wife having the kids having a reason to be a good dad and making sure that whatever you put into your kids heads it's good if you deal with these things on a daily basis love respect and just be decent things are better things are better for everybody man and it's not just you that is going to benefit that the people around you are going to benefit from that being out of prison now um my now i'm training now to be a therapist which is to help kids or people anyone that has been through trauma so that's my journey now and to help people that have been through what i've been through and all i do now is i i talk to everybody and i encourage everyone to talk because talking is a massive thing it's important for me to help people especially people that have suffered like i have it's very difficult for men to talk men do not talk about their feelings this is one thing that needs to change it's it's not macho for a man to be there talking about his feelings if you've got things that have been haunting you for 30 years you need to talk about it did you ever meet the woman who had the impact on you no i haven't but every single podcast will go when i say sorry like i say sorry on these ones i'd do it more because i hope to meet her one day i hope to meet her i hope to her hold her hand and say sorry if she does ever watch these things she'll see that there's there's a genuine man in front of the camera that he is sorry for the things he's done you know he generally is and he's he's trying to make make the world better now [Music] we lived on the third floor of a block of flats and when the nazi party came around collecting all the jews my aunt who stayed with us looked out and saw what was going on she couldn't do anything about my mother who by that time was taken downstairs into the courtyard where they gathered all the jewish women
