Documentary telling the story of how, in February 2003, a criminal mastermind managed to break into highly secure vaults of the Diamond Centre in Antwerp, Belgium, stealing around £91million in what came to be considered the biggest diamond heist in history. The robbery was planned over the span of more than two years, by a master thief who outlined his scheme in meticulous detail, but was eventually brought to justice by the smallest of mistakes. Making use of the testimonies of victims, investigators and even the culprit's lawyer, this film details how the master thief managed to overcome the vault's sophisticated combination lock, along with high-tech motion, heat and light sensors, to escape with his valuable prize
Secrets of the Great Train Robbery Crime documentary, which sets out to bust myths surrounding the effectiveness of the now-legendary Royal Mail train heist of August 8, 1963. The robbery saw the thieves walk away with around £2.5million, equivalent to nearly £50million in today's currency, and while similarly scaled heists have been mounted since, none has captured the public imagination in the same way. While the criminals responsible were eventually brought to justice, common perception still views them as successful in their endeavour. This programme aims to highlight the array of mistakes, bad decisions and careless errors that would prove to be the robbers' undoing. Includes contributions by two police officers involved in the investigation, and Tommy Wisbey, one of the last surviving members of the gang that did the deed
