In 2000, a gang of career criminals attempted one of the most audacious robberies in British history — the theft of a £350 million diamond from the Millennium Dome. In this episode, former career thief and Millennium Dome heist planner Lee Wenham reveals how the crew prepared for the raid, the mistakes that nearly exposed them, the inside dynamics of the gang, and what really happened on the day armed police closed in. From secret meetings and speedboat tests to escape plans and surveillance, this is the firsthand story behind Britain’s most infamous failed heist. Viewer discretion is advised.
