About the book
Fitted Up is the remarkable story of George Thatcher, who spent two weeks in a death cell awaiting the noose for murder following the Mitcham Co-op robbery in 1962. He was later reprieved, but would still serve twenty years for a crime he did not commit. This is a story of how the corrupt police ''fitted him up'' for the crime; a story of a life of poverty in the 1930s and ''40s as a child and young man - a life of petty crime in London''s bleak 1950s underworld reminiscent of all those black and white gangster films of the period. Thatcher was a non-violent ''peter'' man, a safe-blower, famou.
