The Postcard Bandit

24th of November 1989, Fremantle Prison, Western Australia


The trio removed the bar and slipped out of the workshop window and gained access to the roof of the print shop. From there, they went along the guard’s walkway, jumped from roof to roof, until they hit the edge of the prison grounds.

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the life and times of Brenden Abbott.
