Daylight Robbery is a 1964 British film directed by Michael Truman and starring Janet Munro, Gordon Jackson and Zena Walker. It was written by Dermot Quinn and distributed by the Children's Film Foundation.[1][2] Its plot concerns a group of kids who foil bank robbers.
Three children, Trudy, Janet and Kirk, visit a department store. They are followed by Trudy, whose mother has forbidden her to play with them. As a prank, and to shock Trudy, Kirk steals a battery, although he intends to return it later. The three children get locked in the store and in their attempt to escape end up at the building site next door, where they are spotted by a man, part of a bank robbery gang, and imprisoned by him. Trudy goes in search of the children, rescues them and alerts the police.
