The Balcombe Street Gang (part2/2): Episode 193

The Balcombe Street Gang (part2/2): Episode 193


It was in August 1974, that the first members of the IRA Active Service Unit later named 'The Balcombe Street Gang' touched down in Heathrow. Between October 1974 and December 1975, they carried out at least 40 bomb and gun attacks in and around London, leading to one description of them as 'the most violent, ruthless and highly trained unit ever sent to Britain by the Provisional IRA.

In the concluding episode of this two-part story, we continue to tell the stories of those who were the victims of this gang, until their capture in December 1975.
