Early in his career, the great Scotland Yard detective Robert Fabian pitched himself against a suave and daring cat-burglar. Robert Augustus Delaney was responsible for a one-man crime wave targeting London’s wealthiest homes in the 1920s. His exploits even gained the admiration of the police who were chasing him. But behind the glamorous exterior of the gentleman thief, lay the secrets of a dark past. For Fabian, capturing the elusive thief was an opportunity not just to put a master criminal behind bars, but also to make his own reputation.

Listen Everywhere: Real Survival Stories

From Noiser, Detectives Don’t Sleep is the new podcast that takes you beyond the police tape to shadow the real detectives who worked history’s most intriguing cases. In this taster episode, we’re in the Bahamas in 1943. One of the wealthiest men in the islands, Sir Harry Oakes, has been murdered - bludgeoned and burned in his mansion. The prime suspect is Oakes’s son-in-law, Count Alfred de Marigny. But Oakes’s daughter Nancy refuses to believe in her husband’s guilt and hires New York-based PI Ray Schindler to clear de Marigny’s name. Ray flies to the paradise island of New Providence and gets straight down to work, interviewing witnesses, following up clues, and piecing together the circumstances of Oakes’s death. Before long, he finds himself drawn into a complex mystery straight from the pages of a classic whodunnit. Part Two of Murder in Paradise is live now on the Detectives Don’t Sleep podcast.

Introducing: Detectives Don’t Sleep - Murder in Paradise Part One

On Thursday, April 24th, 1975, a group of six well-dressed men let themselves into the Bank of America in London's Mayfair. They had one intention: to break into the vault and make off with over 8 million pounds worth of gold, valuables and cash. Little did they know that the inside man who'd helped them set up the job would also be a part of their downfall. Scotland Yard's Intelligence Division, and the detectives from the Flying Squad were about to make history, turning the criminals against each other as they chased each one of them down and tried to recover the record-breaking haul.

Bank of America

On November 7th, 2000, a professional gang of thieves attempted an audacious robbery in London. Their target: the largest flawless diamond collection in the world. Its location: the Millennium Dome in Greenwich. It's an outrageous plan, but can these crooks really steal such a prize, in broad daylight, from such a public place, and make their escape? Not if Scotland Yard has anything to do with it. The plot reads like something from a Bond film — speedboats, firearms, ram raids, and elaborate undercover surveillance. With limited information to go on, it's a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, or rather cops and robbers. In the end, timing will be everything.

The Millennium Dome Heist

On October 17th, 1898, a most daring theft took place on a train at Paris’s Gare du Nord station. In the blink of an eye, and in broad daylight, a priceless collection of jewels was taken from under the nose of their owner — the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland. The culprit was one of the most cunning, lightest-fingered crooks in Europe. The original gentleman thief. Unparallelled in his abilities, he was a man known to both the law, and the underworld world only by his alias — Harry 'the Valet'.
