Ep 8 - The Hatton Garden Heist

Episode 8, Mar 08, 2020, 07:00 AM

"The largest burglary in English legal history" according to some, yet it was brought down mainly by the actions of one gang member that other criminals called "wombat thick".

This week we cover The Hatton Garden Heist.

Described at the time as the largest burglary in English legal history, the gang that chose to rob a safety deposit company in London's Hatton Garden went on to be called "Analogue criminals in a digital age" thanks in part to the elderly age of their members and their lack of awareness around modern policing techniques.

Find out why one man in particular – described by co-conspirators as “wombat-think” – inadvertently led to the gang being captured.
