• Criminal Addiction | Ricky Atkinson and the Dirty Tricks Gang

  Ricky Atkinson’s journey is one of grit, crime, and redemption. Growing up as a mixed-race boy in 1960s Toronto, he faced harsh racism and poverty. Torn between his father’s law-abiding life and the allure of his uncle's flashy criminal world, Ricky chose both paths. He became the leader of the Dirty Tricks Gang, notorious for sophisticated heists and tactical maneuvers, earning millions while evading police with cunning strategies like spike belts. Ricky’s life of crime saw him spend half his years in prison, yet inside, he found a spark of change. From co-founding the Black Inmates Friends Association to producing an inmate-run TV show, he worked to inspire others. Today, Ricky teaches boxing and pottery, warning youth of the dangers of crime. His story reflects a fight against systemic injustice and personal demons, proving redemption is possible even for the most hardened lives.

• Shoot To Kill: Toronto’s Notorious Boyd Gang

  Edwin Alonzo Boyd, a former soldier and family man, transformed into one of Canada’s most infamous criminals. Initially seen as a charming "Robin Hood," Boyd led a gang of armed robbers in the 1950s, orchestrating elaborate heists while evading capture. His life of crime included daring prison escapes, violent shootouts, and a reputation as a cunning master of disguise. The public fascination with Boyd turned to horror after a police detective’s death, sealing his gang’s fate. Later in life, Boyd hinted at a chilling secret—a possible connection to an unsolved double murder from 1947. Though he confessed to journalist Brian Vallée, Boyd escaped final justice, taking the full truth to his grave in 2002.
