The Postcard Bandit is the adrenaline-charged true story of Brenden Abbott, Australia’s most notorious bank robber. Abbott held up more than forty banks, escaped maximum-security prison twice, spent almost six years on the run and stole an estimated $5 million. This gripping true-crime series offers unprecedented access, including exclusive footage of Abbott speaking for the first time about his exploits. Featuring candid interviews with police, victims, family members and eyewitnesses, it examines each pivotal moment, from ingenious escapes to audacious robberies. At its heart is Abbott’s relationship with his son James, who has known his father only through prison bars.
