The Newton Gang was an outlaw group active from around 1919 to 1924, primarily engaged in train and bank robberies across the United States and Canada. The gang consisted of four Newton brothers and Brent Glasscock, and they claimed to have robbed 75 banks and six trains without killing anyone. Their most famous crime was the 1924 Rondout, Illinois train robbery, which netted $3 million. The gang's activities declined after the 1920s, with members later involved in other crimes.
