Adam Fairfield, whilst sitting on the bench in Richmond Park, southwest London, with his dog, Sally, at his feet, receives a phone call. Not on his phone, but instead on one taped to the underside of the bench, left there specifically for him. The call triggers a series of events that will culminate in an extravagant cascade of bank robberies targeting every single bank in Richmond-upon-Thames, all on the same day, under the complete watchful eye of the Metropolitan Police service, and a fully intact and operational security system. A series of seemingly random events all come together in a calculated, methodically planned and executed procession using members of the public and targeted individuals. The Richmond Project is a result of meticulous research, planning and attention to detail.
