On Easter weekend 2015, a set of unlikely thieves broke into the most secure diamond vault and carried out the best or should that be worst robbery London and England for that matter, has ever seen.
But how did the most secure vault in the whole of the UK become the target of this wily group and more importantly who were these hardened criminals, a gang of young whippersnappers or, where they pensioners looking to carry out one last job…
The police were stumped and the hunt was on for the most successful diamond thieves in the whole of the country's history who had made their way into the night with millions of pounds worth of loot.
Today on Macabre London, we uncover the story of The Hatton Garden Heist.
