Shortcut: The young law student who began robbing TABs - Part 2

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

This is the second part of a two part series with our guest, Arthur Bolkas.

 

In his late teens and early twenties, Arthur was pulling double duty as a promising young law student and an armed robber.

 

We discovered at the end of part one that Arthur was eventually captured after a very dramatic car chase through the streets of a busy inner Melbourne suburb.

 

We now pick up our conversation with Arthurs memories and reflections from his sentencing, incarceration and life after prison.

 

Arthur has now worked for many years as a Criminologist, activist and public speaker. He can best be contacted here on his Facebook page.
