First look at failed Millennium Diamond heist as gang admit to plan to steal £350m jewel in new Netflix’s documentary

Gang's Confession in Netflix Documentary

The gang behind the infamous £350 million Millennium Diamond heist have confessed to their failed plan in a sneak peek of Netflix's upcoming documentary. The trailer for the three-part series reveals convicted robber Lee Wenham and his group discussing the ill-fated crime.

Close Call with History

In 2000, this group of daring criminals made headlines with a near-successful attempt at one of the biggest robberies in history. Their bold plan to steal the £350 million diamond at London's Millennium Dome was foiled by police intelligence.

Hollywood-Style Heist Gone Wrong

Using a supercharged JCB digger, the gang smashed through security barriers at the iconic tourist attraction in broad daylight. Their elaborate getaway plan involved a boat on the River Thames and selling the stolen goods to an anonymous buyer.

Insight into the Crime

Director Guy Ritchie's three-part series delves into the details of the failed heist, with ringleader Lee sharing insights into their Hollywood-style plan. The gang's attempt to breach the vault, grab the diamond, and escape would have made history if not for the police intervention.

Police Interception and Arrest

The trailer hints at how the police's Flying Squad intercepted the gang's plans and moved in to make arrests, thwarting the heist at the scene. Lee's candid thoughts on the police add a dramatic twist to the unfolding story.

Netflix's Crime Drama Success

Following the success of Guy Ritchie's series "The Gentlemen," Netflix is set to premiere "The Diamond Heist" on April 16. With a gripping narrative and real-life drama, this documentary promises to captivate audiences with its thrilling tale of ambition and downfall.
