Very interesting stories

All very interesting stories about famous robbers in the North. Their personal information and law breaking was big news when it happened and amazing even today. Thanks

Fantastic narration!

A delightful peek into Canada's criminal capers! Colm Feore radiates his signature twinkle-eyed charm as he takes us through our nation's most (in)famous heists. (Bonus: Now I finally know how to pronounce Feore's name properly!)

True-ly enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 episode True North Heists series. Colm Feore wonderfully narrates Andrew Kaufman's words. Each episode is wonderfully crafted with interviews of the characters and authors. I'm looking forward to episodes 11-20 hopefully soon! I'm certain you will binge this series as I did after just one episode.
