Gangland Robbers
“There have been career robbers, acting solo, in duos or teams; a solicitor or two, businessmen, and police officers, both serving and out of the force. The latter included David John Kurrle, a former Victorian police officer who took to crime after his trucking business collapsed.
It took a cold case review to link Kurrle to a thirty-month series of robberies and theft, including one on a newsagent’s two days before Christmas 2001 and the $28 000 robbery of Aussies Tavern Hotel in Brisbane. He ...was eventually linked to the robberies through a trace of his DNA on a cigarette butt left at the newsagent’s, and admissions made on taped calls to his ex-wife. In August 2008 Kurrle pleaded guilty to a series of crimes that had brought him $75 000, and received eight years.
In 2002 Steven Noel Gottliebsen, another former policeman, was sentenced to four years, with a minimum of two, for his part in a spree of armed robberies of convenience stores and service stations in Victoria in January the previous year.MoreLess
