Definition
Plural of heister; multiple people who commit heists or robberies, often as part of organized crime or theft crews.
Etymology
Plural form of heister, from heist plus *-er*. The term evolved with 20th century crime vocabulary and popular culture.
Kelly Says
Movies and TV shows made 'heisters' so iconic that we almost romanticize them, but the proliferation of heist fiction probably says more about our fascination with clever crime than about crime itself.
