In 2015, a group of elderly thieves, known as "The Diamond Wheezers," executed a daring heist in London's Hatton Garden, stealing around £14 million worth of valuables from an underground safe deposit vault. Despite their meticulous planning, the gang made crucial mistakes, including leaving a digital trail and being caught on CCTV, which led to their eventual capture. The thieves, some in their seventies, were lifelong criminals who saw this heist as one last big score, but only a third of the stolen goods were ever recovered. Their story stands as one of England’s most audacious and unusual robberies.
