Reno Gang

Reno Gang, juga dikenal sebagai Reno Brothers Gang dan The Jackson Thieves, adalah sekelompok penjahat yang beroperasi di Midwestern United States pada masa dan setelah Perang Saudara Amerika. Meskipun berumur pendek, mereka menjadi tiga perampok kereta masa damai pertama dalam sejarah AS. Kebanyakan uang yang dicuri tak pernah dikembalikan.

Geng tersebut dipatahkan oleh penggantungan sepuluh anggotanya oleh para gangster pada 1868. Pembunuhan tersebut menimbulkan sebuah insiden diplomatik internasional dengan Kanada dan Britania Raya, sebuah ketegangan publik besar, dan sorotan surat kabar internasional. Tak ada seorangpun yang diidentifikasikan atau didakwa atas penggantungan tersebut.

Reno Brothers diperankan dalam dua film, termasuk film pertama Elvis Presley dimana ia berperan sebagai Clint.
