heist crew
Thieves working together
A heist crew is a group assembled to carry out a robbery, typically of a bank, casino, or other high-value target.
The term evokes elaborate, coordinated thefts requiring specialized skills—a driver, a safecracker, a lookout.
Heist crews are a staple of crime fiction and film: The heist crew met one last time to go over the plan.
In casual use, any group collaborating on a scheme might jokingly call themselves a heist crew.
