Biggs Kidnapping Plot Ties Barbados Abduction to Train Robbery
Ronald Biggs, famed Great Train Robber, remains jailed in Bridgetown after allegedly being abducted from Brazil by a group including Britons and an American. The case links to his 1963 $7.3 million train heist and follows a yacht-arrival in Barbados amid extradition talks. Police identify five captors and plan for Biggs’s possible extradition as Britain pursues the case and chief suspect John Miller.
