Double Trouble

 

The ‘After Dark Bandits’

One of the great double acts in Australian criminal history led police on a merry chase for more than two years. All the time police thought they were chasing one man. 

Country TABs and banks were hit near closing time with the ‘After Dark Bandit’ then disappearing into the bush,no clues, no leads, no hope.

It wasnt until one of the brothers decided to rob the same bank for the 3rd time in nine months thet they met their match,  a couple of old school country coppers (one who almost died). It was only then that police discovered that the ‘After Dark Bandit’ was both public enemy no.1 and no.2!

Double Trouble chronicles the journey of Peter and Doug Morgan and their notorious dad who taught them how to build houses and steal. Multiple twists and turns along the way, including the startling revelation that the only time the identical twins ever got along was when they were doing holdups.
