Speedboat getaways, daring heists and shotgun hold-ups: the premise for Netflix’s latest documentary reads like a Guy Ritchie film.
Which is is, kind of. Guy Ritchie is a producer on The Diamond Heist, but the story – of how thieves almost made away with the biggest haul in history at the turn of the Millennium – is astonishingly true. Valued back then at £350m, today their target haul would have come to an equivalent value of around £750m today.
