In November 2000, a gang of thieves tried to steal a measure of 200 million pounds in what could be the largest theft in the world in history
It was a plot that could have been raised directly from a group of Hollywood: a gang of criminals, an invaluable, bold escape, and dramatic harassment. But this has already happened in real life.
On November 7, 2000, a group of experienced criminals tried to steal the Millennium star from Diamond from the Millennium Dome in London, while it could have been the biggest diamond theft in history. Thanks to the careful planning and secret work of the capital, the raid was stopped, and the perpetrators were brought to justice.
Now, a new documentary has been released by the legendary man Richie – diamond theft – on Netflix, and reveals how the thieves get rid of almost stealing millions of pound.

At the heart of the conspiracy, the millennial star, a flawless diamond, was worth 203 carats worth 200 million pounds. It was displayed as part of the DEERS DIAMOND exhibition in The Dome, and was considered one of the most precious stones in the world.
Besides, there were 11 rare blue diamonds, which amount to the total value of the exhibition to an estimated 350 million pounds. If it is possible to be estimated now, it will be worth a large amount of 750 million pounds.
The gang behind the plot to Li Winham, a professional criminal, and Ray Beton, included a notorious figure in the underworld in London. William Kokzar, Terry Milman, Aldou Siarochi, Robert Adams, Kevin Merridith, and James Hurley joined them.
Their plan was bold as it was complicated: used a modified JCB digger to destroy the dome perimeter, spread smoke bombs to create chaos, and storming the diamond basement using heavy drill and nail pistol. The smuggler? A fast boat awaits the Times.
But without the knowledge of the gang, the Metropolitan Police Squad was surveyed for several months under the magician's operation. The aviation squad promoted by the Kent police, which was investigating the gang due to other crimes.
They replaced the real diamonds with a similar version, and they installed a false wall inside the exhibition to hide armed officers, and placed two hidden secret officers as detergents throughout the dome. On the day of the raid, more than 100 officers were in a position.
When the gang carried out its plan, the dome was destroyed and went to a cellar, the police moved. The gang was immediately arrested, and their plan was thwarted without a single shot.
The former armed thief, “Razor” Smith, revealed how one of the raid leaders, Bill Kokzar, told him in prison that he believed the failed robbery “cursed” after the death of two perpetrators. In 2022, Noel The Sun told: “Tell me,” There is a curse on this job like Brenk, as you know. We will all die. “
The trial began a year later at Old Billy. The gang members received a penalty of more than 70 years. Judge Michael Combi praised the police's “exceptional care” of the world's largest robbery.
Since then, the theft of the theme of documentary films and drama, including the new Netflix series The Diamond Heist, produced by Guy Ritchie.
