S7 Ep2: Burglary in the EXTREME

Seeing Red
About this episode
This week, we take a deep dive into the world of the rich and famous as we discuss the biggest burglary in English criminal history.

And I say ‘burglary’, but actually it was plural – the gang at the centre of today’s case were responsible for not one, but three burglaries in which they targeted the homes of London’s glitterati. This was an audacious crime spree which saw the thieves walk away with a total of £26 million worth of jewellery and cash in the space of just 13 days. The gang blew some of their spoils on shopping trips to Harrods and gorged themselves senseless at various restaurants around the capital.
