Turpin Spoils Found Hidden In Coat For Nearly 200 Years After nearly 200 years, proceeds of Dick Turpin robberies have come to light. Jewellery and money, pistols and a mask have been found in the lining of a coat left by the highwayman at the Three Tuns Inn, Cambridge, when he fled from Runners on January 12, 1739. A letter signed by the landlord of the Three Tuns declares that the clothes were left behind by Turpin, who was hanged at York four months later.
