Australian True Crime

In the 1990s, Steven Meyers was an accomplice to his friend Scott Scurlock, better known as the “Hollywood Bandit”, who carried out a remarkable series of bank robberies across Seattle using elaborate disguises and meticulous planning to evade police.
Scurlock stole millions of dollars and lived an extraordinary double life from a three-storey treehouse outside Olympia.
Steven was there for much of it, and today he joins us to talk about their friendship, how their bank-robbing operation actually worked, and what happened when their extraordinary double life finally came crashing down.
