[uneasy music playing]
[plants rustling]
[chain rumbling in distance]
[uneasy music continues]
[man 1] There can be lots of drivers as to why
somebody becomes a criminal.
It can range from social pressures due to the environment,
their conditioning.
It could be because of the challenge of it.
Or it could be just the thrill of doing it.
But whatever the reason,
there's always going to be a risk
that they come up against people like me,
and I'll be there to stop them.
[opening theme music playing]
[compelling string music playing]
[man 1] My name's John Swinfield,
but everybody calls me Swini.
[cell door rattling, clanging]
[Swini] I was a detective inspector on the Flying Squad.
[tires screeching]
[Swini] We were the elite team in dealing with armed robberies
of national importance.
And over the years, we undertook many big operations.
[dramatic opera music playing]
[Swini] From the Great Train Robbery...
He was grabbed, pushed down the bank, and held by another man who said,
"If you shout, I'll kill you."
...to the Brink's-Mat bullion robberies.
[reporter 1] The bullion thieves forced their way
into the top security depot this morning.
The robbers got away with nearly £26 million.
[Swini] We are diligent, and we are focused
on catching armed robbers in the act of armed robbery.
- [sirens wailing] - [upbeat music playing]
The Flying Squad were all about roaring around in high-powered cars,
raiding the bad guys,
arresting them.
They were every bit of glamour that there could be in a policeman.
You pillock!
There was a famous TV series made about them called The Sweeney.
[man yelling]
Get your trousers on. You're nicked.
[Neil] They were the elite police unit in Britain,
but certain areas of the Flying Squad became very corrupt.
Two London police officers have admitted to a string of offenses, which sparked...
...the biggest corruption investigation in the history of the police force.
[Neil] A series of scandals began to emerge
in the '80s and '90s.
And I, as a reporter, covered quite a lot of them.
Key evidence against him had been planted by a Flying Squad detective.
As many as 250 officers may be corrupt.
[Neil] As we got into the late '90s,
the reputation of the Flying Squad was in tatters.
But there were good people in there who were determined to restore it.
[keyboard clacking]
[Neil] What they needed
was a high-profile, very successful operation
that they were seen to absolutely win.
They wanted to be the good guys again.
[keyboard clacking]
[Swini] In February 2000,
I was told there'd been a major attempted robbery in London.
- [dark string music playing] - [sirens wailing]
[Swini] It was a security van
that was making a multimillion-pound delivery
when it was stopped in a car park.
[reporter 3] Gang members blocked access with these three heavy goods vehicles,
bringing much of South-East London to a standstill.
[Swini] The robbers had a six-foot spike mounted on the lorry
to ram the back of the security vehicle,
to pierce it like a can opener.
But whilst they were out of the cab preparing for the attack,
a member of the public reached in the door and took the keys.
- [tense rhythmic music playing] - [sirens wailing distantly]
[Swini] That, of course, stopped the attack.
The robbers then ran down onto the Thames,
where they escaped on a waiting speedboat.
It was innovative. It was very creative. It was well-organized.
The level of sophistication that was being shown in this robbery
was far above anything we'd seen before.
There was no information as to who the suspects were,
other than these were first-class, professional armed robbers,
who, no doubt, would be looking for target number two.
You're fucking right! [laughing]
[birds chirping]
[Swini] Then, in July later that year,
Aylesford got hit.
[reporter 3] Armed and masked robbers used a van equipped with a steel spike
to ram the Securicor van early today.
[Swini] Myself and my two deputies
went down to Kent, and we spoke with the investigators at Aylesford.
[suspenseful music playing]
[man 2] It's something I'd certainly never seen before.
The robbers had got a truck,
and they'd concreted in a large metal spike...
[truck engine revving]
...and they put this spike into the back of the Securicor truck.
There was a police car in the area,
and within about seven or eight minutes, they turned up.
- [sirens wailing] - [gun cocks, fires]
[Ian] Robbers fired two shots at the police officers,
and then got in their vehicles and fled.
[boat motor roaring]
[Ian] They had a boat on the river.
The robbers jumped in the boat,
and that was the last we saw of them.
There'd been lots and lots of planning going on before.
It was all very sort of James Bond, really, I guess.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Swini] At the first robbery,
they'd written on the side of the spike, "Gerty,"
which is short for Gertrude.
And at the Aylesford robbery, written on the spike
was, "Gerty 2, persistent, aren't we?"
[producer] Why Gerty 2? What's Gerty 1?
I don't know what you're talking about, mate.
[Swini] We felt that it was quite clearly the same gang who were trying again.
That was their calling card, telling us that we are not stopping.
I'm sure they were frustrated at the two failed attempts,
and now they would have started planning a number three.
So, we needed to arrest these people and lock them away for a long, long time.
If we were gonna catch them and convict them,
we needed to catch them in the act.
So my focus was,
"Let's identify who the gang were
and what their next target was gonna be."
[Ian] As the investigation progressed,
we had, um, very little to go on.
It wasn't until about six weeks later
that we got a real major break.
[dramatic opera music playing]
[sirens wailing]
[Ian] There's a pub just outside Maidstone in Kent.
Someone had a drink and then crashed into the wall of the pub.
Police had been called to the scene, arrested the driver.
The person arrested for drink-driving was a man by the name of Terry Millman.
[gun fires]
[Ian] A quick check of our systems soon revealed
that Terry Millman was a lifelong career criminal
and, more importantly, an armed robber.
Once we had Millman's name, we could then run his name forensically.
There was a bucket and some gloves in one of the vehicles left at the scene.
[vehicle door closes]
[Ian] We were able to get Terry Millman's fingerprints off that bucket.
In normal circumstances, we'd arrest him for that robbery.
But I think we all agreed that we wanted to let him run and see where it took us.
[intriguing music playing]
[Swini] We followed him to the farm. It was called Tong Farm.
It was deep in Kent,
very rural.
Tong Farm was owned by a family called the Wenhams.
[Ian] The Wenhams had a certain notoriety about them.
It was pretty well known that, um, they were up to-- up to no good.
[Lee laughing]
[Swini] We were focusing on the Wenhams as a family.
But we started to become aware that the more active member
was Lee.
He was somebody who had his finger in lots of pies.
So, our attention focused
on developing intelligence and surveillance around him.
[man 3] Back in 2000,
I was a detective sergeant on SO11...
which was New Scotland Yard's surveillance wing.
I was sat in my car,
and I got a call from John Swinfield.
[cell phone ringing]
[Jools] They were looking at a guy called Lee Wenham.
And they were looking to do what we would term
"lifestyle surveillance."
[dramatic opera music playing]
[woman] Any time that Lee Wenham left the farm,
we were tasked with following him.
Just to see where he went, what he was up to, who he was meeting,
where he was going.
It could've been something like this,
you know, sitting in a café, meeting somebody.
Just doing normal things that people are doing,
not necessarily up to no good.
But it was unpredictable.
We never knew what was gonna happen.
[Jools] One day at the beginning of August,
he left the farm,
and we suddenly start heading towards London.
[pensive music playing]
[Jools] We hadn't been to London before with him.
Eventually, we end up pulling off the motorway,
and he parks up at the Dome.
He then... goes inside.
[Carol] That was a complete surprise to all of us
because the Dome had a bit of a reputation as a damp squib.
It's a tourist attraction that doesn't seem to hold any attraction.
[Carol] It wasn't somewhere I would've visited by choice, put it that way.
Nobody knows what it's for. Nobody knows who it's for.
- It's blandness. - [duck squeaking]
Why would Lee Wenham wanna go to the Dome?
[Carol] We deployed on foot to follow him in.
He was with a female and a kid.
And he was doing what everybody else does,
looking at the exhibitions.
And then...
he goes into the De Beers exhibition,
and I go in there as well.
It's very small in there, very confined space. It's very dark.
There's a central glass cabinet with the Millennium Star in it.
He stayed inside the exhibit for five minutes,
and then he carried on with his day.
We came away at the end of that day thinking,
"It's just a day out at the Dome."
Then probably about a week later,
he follows the same route that he went the week before.
All of us were thinking, "Well, he can't be going back to the Dome again."
But he pulls into the car park
and enters the Dome.
We accept a few people are gonna go and visit the Dome,
but nobody goes to the Dome twice.
- Have you got a ticket for the Dome? - No, no.
- [reporter] Would you like to come back? - Uh... No, not particularly.
[Jools] There has to be a reason he's driven all the way from Kent,
paid again to get in.
[Swini] The Dome had lots of little retail outlets and businesses
with cash going in and out.
So, it might have been an attack on a cash office in the Dome.
But it wasn't a great deal of money.
So the risk isn't worth the reward.
[Carol] At that time,
he went straight to the vault,
and while he was in there,
he was looking very closely at the diamonds.
He had a camcorder with him and was recording.
[Swini] And he was observed looking at cameras up on the wall
and appeared to be making notes.
[dramatic opera music playing]
It was like, in our opinion, somebody doing a reconnaissance.
[light bulb dinging]
Hooray, I've got it!
[Swini] So from what we're seeing,
I felt
he was gonna steal the Millennium Diamonds,
£350 million worth.
[slot machine clinking, playing music]
- [woman gasping, laughing breathlessly] - [crowd laughing]
[Jools] Well, I think the initial reaction was,
"That can't be." It would just be-- It would just be too audacious.
- [intriguing music playing] - [camera shutters clicking]
[Carol] It was so outlandish.
Maybe they'd been watching too many movies
and got some ideas about what they wanted to do.
[Swini] The reality was, they'd done two robberies,
both with multimillion-pound payoffs.
They'd been unsuccessful,
and they were looking for their third big job,
and this fitted that.
- [intriguing music continues] - [camera shutters clicking]
[Swini] But this was not their usual load that they went after.
It upped the scale and the value of what they were doing.
So, we felt that there had to be new members of the gang
involved in the job,
capable of pulling off this robbery.
[intriguing music playing]
[Swini] I never thought
that Wenham was the brains behind the idea,
but we became convinced that Tong Farm was the key
to identifying the gang leader
and the main perpetrators involved.
This is a place where you could comfortably operate,
plan, prepare,
safe from prying eyes, you would think.

Lee Wenham only had to be lucky once
and find a camera lens,
and the job would've been blown.
[machine clicks]
[machine whirring]
[tense music playing]
[machine clicks]
[Swini] We were regularly reviewing footage,
and on one occasion...
[machine clicks]
...we see on the monitor
the arrival of an individual...
[machine clicking]
...who we identified
as being Bill Cockram.
[intense music playing]
Bill Cockram was involved in a wide range of criminal things.
He'd been arrested for violence and theft.
[Jools] Cockram and Wenham
did a proper reconnaissance of the Millennium Star.
So, we felt sure that Cockram was going to be one of the people up front
on the robbery.
[Swini] Cockram was a heavy hand.
[glass shattering]
He didn't feature as somebody with the organizational capability
to be the leader of the gang.
The next face we identified was Bob Adams.
Adams had previous convictions for a serious assault,
as well as the importation of cocaine.
But he never, ever featured, in our understanding,
as having any other role other than a supporting role.
[Jools] On a further visit to the Dome,
we had another person with Wenham.
They went outside, sat down on a bench,
and reviewed their own footage of the exhibition.
And that person we identified as Aldo Ciarrocchi.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Swini] He had very, very little criminal offenses, to his credit,
a lot younger than the other criminals.
So, we didn't think that he would be running the operation.
Who was putting this job together?
[machine clicks]
[Swini] And then one day, we see this Cockram turn up...
with somebody who we hadn't seen before.
[rap song playing]
♪ Swaggerific, baby, I'm prolific ♪
♪ Like a genie in the bottle I go Ollie Shaw is wishing... ♪
[Swini] He just had a demeanor and a confidence about him.
His dress, his mannerisms.
He appeared to look like a classic gangster.
And the comment in the room was,
"It looks like the general inspecting his troops."
We managed to identify the person...
♪ Swaggerific, baby, I'm prolific... ♪
...as being Ray Betson.
♪ ...genie in the bottle I go Ollie Shaw is wishing ♪
♪ Aim, I don't miss... ♪
[Carol] Ray Betson, to me, reminded me a bit of Tony Soprano.
He wasn't someone to be messed with.
He was a big guy and was... in control.
[Swini] We felt he was the one who had the connections
and the resources for the robbery.
But it left a question mark.
[rap song fades]
[Swini] Was it realistic they could get these diamonds?
We needed to speak to somebody at De Beers.
[dramatic music playing]
[man 4] I wasn't surprised someone was gonna try and steal the diamonds,
because it's the first time that this value was on a display
in what looked like a tent from the outside.
So, if I was a robber, I would probably think the same way.
[intriguing music playing]
[Swini] We posed the question, "Can they do it?"
I think that's just about impossible to happen.
I thought it was pretty impregnable.
The vault, which was three feet thick,
with these metal bars inside it...
It was strong enough to withstand
the penetration of something like an armored vehicle
trying to smash through the side walls.
It was extremely well-built.
[Swini] He felt they were secure in the vault,
but they were vulnerable when they were gonna be taken from the vault.
He said they were about to be taken to Tokyo for a few weeks.
This was clearly of interest for us.
[gun cocks]
[device beeping]
[Jools] We knew that they had the incentive and the bravado
to do high-risk robbery on the streets.
Now, here was a chance where the diamond was going to be transported
out of the Dome.
We were fairly confident that this was where they were going to go for it.
- [rousing rock music playing] - [gun clicks]
[Tony] I was a specialist firearms officer...
working within SO19.
We were the equivalent of a-- an American SWAT team.
When the Flying Squad know that they're gonna be up against criminals
that are heavily armed,
they call us.
- [tense rhythmic music playing] - [sirens wailing distantly]
[Tony] In August 2000, the Flying Squad approached us
and said, "We anticipate that a team of heavily-armed robbers
are gonna conduct a robbery in transit."
"Help us out."
[Swini] We decided that we would escort the security van containing the diamonds
from the Dome to Heathrow Airport.
[tense music continues]
[Swini] I thought that the van was gonna get stopped in slow-moving traffic
and a vehicle was going to ram the back of it.
I thought that we were going to see Gerty 3.
[Tony] So we had to look at ways in which we could get through blocked traffic
quick enough to arrest them.
So I made the suggestion that we should get hold of some military helicopters.
[thrilling music playing]
[Tony] Then we were in a position where we could drop heavily-armed SWAT guys
wherever they were needed.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Tony] In addition to that,
we're gonna put unmarked, discreet vehicles
in the front and back of the security van.
[Swini] When they tried to stop the van,
we would be waiting for them.
[tense string music playing]
[Swini] The security van collected the diamonds.
As they came out of the Dome...
the follow started.
[music intensifies]
We had to be able to follow it covertly.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Swini] Because if they saw us,
they'd just evaporate.
[helicopter blades whirring]
[Tony] We sat on the helicopters with all our weapons.
Still didn't know where they were gonna do it.
[Jools] We'd identified that one of the weak points
would be the Blackwall Tunnel.
There were options there for them to block the road.
[Swini] Everybody was in a state of high trepidation.
We were listening for anything that might be a clue
that something was about to take place.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Jools] We went through the Blackwall Tunnel.
Nothing was seen.
And then we wound our way through the streets of East London.
[indistinct radio chatter]
And all of a sudden, you start to feel a little bit more vulnerable.
[horns honking]
[Jools] If something were to happen, I can't move, I can't get out,
because we're stuck in traffic.
[brakes squeaking]
[Swini] And then we went into roadworks.
[tires screeching]
[officer on radio] All units, stand by. Stand by.
[machine drilling]
[Swini] The level of threat is increasing.
I felt this was the moment that they were waiting for.
[machine continues drilling]
[Jools] But it comes to nothing.
[Swini] As we got closer to Heathrow,
we reached a point where we were in fast-moving traffic.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Swini] And it became less likely to happen.
Eventually, we get to Heathrow Airport.
The diamonds were then put safely on a plane.
And then they just went-- That's it, no show, the robbers haven't turned up.
[helicopter blades whirring]
[somber music playing]
[Jools] We came away from there completely deflated.
We'd built ourselves up thinking,
"This is where it's gonna happen."
What has derailed this?
[Swini] Did they have inside information as to when this was happening?
Is there a possibility we could've been seen?
My biggest fear
was that if they'd have thought the Flying Squad was in the ether,
they would've decided
not to go through with it,
and we would be back to square zero again.
[Carol] There was monumental pressure for various reasons.
The money that's spent on it, the time, the resources that have gone into it.
There was a lot at stake
to get this right and for it to be a success.
[Jools] The surveillance continued.
For the first few days after the convoy,
it all went quiet.
There was nothing really to report.
[music fades]
[Jools] We started to think that they've decided to forget their plans.
[phone ringing]
[Swini] But then
there is a phone call to me
from SO11.
They said,
"We've just seen a JCB turn up at the farm."
[suspenseful music playing]
[Swini] Surveillance officers could hear loud revving and driving of the JCB.
[motor rumbling]
[JCB mechanisms whirring]
[motor roaring]
[Swini] Ray Betson was there when it was all happening,
and that obviously raised the specter of "Why?"
[Jools] Then on one afternoon,
we were surveilling Terry Millman.
He'd come out of Tong Farm,
and we followed him.
We ended up at a store in South London
where he bought a Hilti gun.
[Lee echoing] Hilti gun is a nail gun that fires nails through steel.
[Jools] We were getting quite excited because we knew exactly what a Hilti gun
would be purchased for.
- [gun loads] - [loud bangs]
[Swini] Two days later,
I received a phone call from our surveillance team
who says, "You're not going to believe this, Swini."
"We've just seen a speedboat turn up at the farm."
We'd had the speedboat used on the initial robbery at Nine Elms.
It was used again as a getaway vehicle at Aylesford.
So, we knew the job, whatever it was gonna be,
was still on.
Then we see Lee Wenham coming out of Tong Farm,
pulling the speedboat.
[Carol] We followed them all the way down to Whitstable in Kent.
They parked up near the harbor.
And they got the boat out.
They were maneuvering around the harbor in the boat.
[Jools] The guys were all wearing cellophane gloves.
It was clearly a crude attempt
at trying not to leave behind fingerprints on the boat.
They're doing something here that's connected to the robbery.
[Swini] And then Lee Wenham turned up at the Dome.
He was looking at the river.
The one common feature of this gang is escape on a river.
The River Thames is obviously an escape route.
So, it became obvious, fairly quickly,
that they were gonna target the actual vault inside the Dome.
[pensive music playing]
[Carol] It was just something you couldn't comprehend.
You couldn't imagine that anybody would attempt it.
[Jools] A job of that scale,
with that amount of risk,
was unprecedented.
[Swini] Now we knew where it was going to happen.
The only thing that I don't know is the "how" and the "when."
And the "how" and the "when" is what kept me awake at night.
I couldn't switch off from it,
because I wasn't quite sure
what my enemy was thinking of.
[intense music playing]
[Swini] I'd get up at two o'clock in the morning.
I'd go down to the Dome and think,
"If I was gonna do it,
when would I want to do it?"
I wondered if they were gonna go in in the middle of the night.
But at night, the vault became impregnable.
[vault locks]
[Swini] And, ultimately, that meant the only time they could do it
was when the vault was open.
[seagulls cawing]
And that would be when members of the public were being admitted to it.
[Tony] From what we knew about these robbers,
we knew that they were prepared to shoot at unarmed police officers.
So, members of the public could have been in danger.
[Jools] The whole thing was going to be extremely dangerous.
If we did catch them in the act,
you run serious risk of members of the public being injured,
hostages being taken.
We needed to regroup,
think about our strategy, think about our tactics,
the way we were going to deal with this.
It was so high risk.
[tense music playing]
[Swini] The easiest thing would be for me to get De Beers to remove the diamond.
That would have stopped the job.
But what it wouldn't have stopped was them finding another target,
and on that target,
we may not be able to stop them, and a member of the public gets killed.
So, the game plan was we let them do the robbery.
But we had to safely put a barrier between the suspects
and the members of the public who might be in the vicinity.
The safest place is always going to be in an area where they're contained,
which was in this case the vault itself.
[Carol] If they could get them inside the vault, they couldn't go anywhere.
So they couldn't cause any harm to anybody as long as nobody else was in there.
[Swini] I had a meeting with senior management of the Dome.
I was asked, "How can we guarantee the safety of this operation?"
And our answer was that the plans that we're drawing up
will ensure that there will be nobody at risk.
And they said, "Stop thinking like a policeman. Start thinking like a parent
whose child got shot during a day trip to the Dome."
"How would you answer that?"
[Tony] The Flying Squad were saying, "Look, there's going to be a robbery."
"We need to put 100 armed officers into the Dome."
"Oh, by the way, we don't want you to close down the thing."
"We want you to actually have visitors coming in while we do it."
Even us, as seasoned tactical people,
were saying, "This is never gonna get off the ground."
[Swini] They wanted us to sign responsibility
that it was our decision.
So, if anybody gets injured in here,
the Flying Squad will be held to account for this.
[Carol] If this goes badly,
it could have repercussions for the Flying Squad
because there's a possibility they could have been disbanded.
[Swini] We were dealing with a lot of scrutiny.
So we had to get it right.
But even the best-laid plan can go wrong.
[dramatic opera music playing]
[Neil] I'm sat in my office.
News editor comes in,
and he tells me
that the Millennium Dome...
is going to be robbed
of £300 million worth of jewels.
What?
[bright piano music playing]
[Neil] It must have been really difficult inside the Flying Squad
to keep this secret.
But we had brilliant contacts, and we'd found out about it.
That's what journalists do.
[piano music ends]
[line ringing]
[Neil] So I pick up the phone to the Flying Squad
and break the very bad news to them
that I knew all about their top-secret, undercover operation.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Swini] My senior officer called me on a Friday night.
His words to the effect were, "I've got some bad news for you."
[Neil] They were absolutely appalled
that I knew about it.
But what could they do? This was their problem, not mine.
[Swini] We were so close that we could taste it,
and my fear was that if we'd lost it in the final hurdle,
we would never get a second chance.
[Neil] They asked me simply not to run the story,
and they would tell me all about it afterwards.
I said, "No." I wanted more than that.
I wanted to be there for the bust.
Do a deal with me,
or see it all
melt away.
[Swini] If we stonewall this,
they could very, very easy blow the operation.
[Neil] The deal was
that my reporter and photographer would be first on the scene.
They would have full access to all information about what had happened.
This was a big, fuck me, exciting story.
And it was gonna sell a lot of newspapers.
[cash register dings]
[birds chirping]
[pensive music playing]
[Lee] We were all ready to go.
Everything was in position.
I was quite excited that we were gonna get it.
It's weeks and weeks and weeks of planning,
and lots and lots of money invested in it as well.
But it got to a point about three months into it,
when you start thinking,
"Are we being followed? Are we being watched?"
You do start looking over your shoulder.
You're thinking someone's watching you, and it does make you a bit edgy.
[producer] Do you have any coping mechanisms?
Cocaine. [laughing]
Fueled on that for a bit, yeah. [laughs]
I just blocked it out.
Because you still want the job to go on.
[radio tuning, static]
But fuck it, let's do it. [chuckles]
[pulsating electronic music playing]
[camera shutters clicking]
[Swini] On the 6th of November...
the JCB was taken all the way up to South-East London,
where it was placed in a coal yard that was within visual sight of the Dome.
[boat motor roaring]
