In Part 1 of this 2-part episode, we explore the story of the Thika Bank Heist. Inspired by the plot of a popular Hollywood movie, a close group of friends meticulously crafted a plan to infiltrate one of the most secure financial institutions in Thika. Drawing from the cinematic genius of heist films, they employed a combination of cunning strategy and brazen audacity to execute a robbery that would go down in Kenyan history.
