In April 2015, London’s diamond district was rocked by an audacious £14 million vault robbery — the now-infamous Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Heist. Over the Easter weekend, a gang of ageing career criminals, dubbed the “Pensioner Gang,” drilled through half a metre of reinforced concrete to loot 73 safe deposit boxes inside one of the UK’s most secure vaults. Their meticulous plan, daring entry through a lift shaft, and two-night operation stunned the world. But how did these veteran thieves slip past high-tech alarms, and what mistakes led to their capture? Join Crime at Bedtime as we unpick the biggest burglary in British history, from the masterminds behind the heist to the dramatic police investigation and the millions still missing.
