Speaker Series - The Flying Bandit with Ed Arnold

It was around 30 years ago that Canada’s most daring armed robber was captured and sentenced right here in Pembroke, Ontario.
Gilbert Galvan, infamously known as the Flying Bandit, lived in Pembroke while going on his record-setting cross-country robbery spree through the 1980s.
Ed Arnold, former managing editor of the Peterborough Examiner, was the first to get the inside scoop on Galvan and break the story of the Flying Bandit - a story that was later turned into a best-selling novel co-authored by Robert Knuckle and Arnold.

Check out last night's Blood on the razor wire interview with Gilbert Galvin, a sad tale but 10 years sober now and with his film out in 2022 I wish him all the best 👈
