About this listen

In 2000, a group of career criminals known for their audacious heists gets recruited for what would be the biggest robbery in history. Lee Wenham and his crew draw up a plan to steal the world’s largest diamond on display for the public at London’s Millennium Dome. As the thieves work out how to thwart guards, vaults, and impregnable glass, an elite police unit has been monitoring their plans. While the so-called Flying Squad has clocked elements of the bandits’ scheme, it won’t be until the day of the heist when they learn how it all fits together.

Netflix’s “The Diamond Heist” recounts the daring daylight caper to steal the 203-carat, £200-million Millennium Star. Produced by movie director Guy Ritchie, the three-part series is high on action film pace and style. We hear from both the cops and robbers involved, who tell their stories and take part in the re-enactments.
