The Air France robbery was a major robbery that took place in April 1967, when associates of the Lucchese crime family stole $420,000 ($2.93 million in 2023[1]) from the Air France cargo terminal at New York City's JFK International Airport. While there were many cargo thefts at JFK airport in 1967,[2] this was the largest cash robbery that had taken place at the time. It was carried out by Henry Hill, Robert McMahon, Tommy DeSimone and Montague Montemurro, on a tip-off from McMahon. Hill believed it was the Air France robbery that endeared him to the Mafia.[3]
