One Last Job: The Unlikely Story Behind the Hatton Garden Heist 

fair fuckin play to the old boys

As long as they don’t kill anybody I’m pretty sure the public always root for bank robbers 😂

He went on the bus to the heist with a free travel pass it wasn't even his own 😂😂

"Analog criminals operating in a digital world" Perfect conclusion.

'Basil' the mystery man who initially evaded capture, was the guy who disabled the alarm and had the front door keys. He was the smartest one out of the lot. He was an off grid, very private and cash only kind of guy, who didnt have an official job, didnt use phones, had a full face mask and wig on and avoided cameras during the heist. He was eventually only caught after police scanned hours of surveillance footage of the rest of the gang and noticed a guy who had the same height, build and gait as 'Basil' from the vault cctv and took a chance. When they raided his flat, they found 150k worth of gold, cash and jewels along with smelting equipment. He pled not guilty and got the longest sentence out of everyone. His name was Michael Seed and he was the some of a Cambridge academic. If it wasn't for that idiot Collins, using his OWN DAMN CAR instead of the untraceable white van they had arranged specifically for the job, and that other fool using his own name to purchase tools, the police wouldnt have had any leads to go on and they would have got away!

Amazing how they were so clever yet so dumb at the same time

anyone who robs banks i hope they get away just as long as the don't shoot or kill anyone have at it

Such a shame they didn’t get away with it.

they just went away for 24 hours, came back, did the robbery? Wow this is a world class safety deposit box facility.

If these geezers knew anything about current technology THEN it would have been the perfect crime

£20.000 for information thats a poor reward lool

Ocean's 65 - One last job.

“He went on the the Hatton Garden Raid on a free travel pass - it wasn’t even his own.” ABSOLUTE MAD LAD!!!

Such a cool story. I actually kinda wish they got away woth it

Basil got away and is living like a king ,

Legends free them all up

The fact he gave his real name and address when buying the tools and their own car seems like someone wanted to make sure they took the fall.

I like how they used Brick Top from snatch to narrate his letter 😂

"slept in his mothers dressing gown with a fezz hat on"I call that madness not eccentric

no guns,no violence

I can always appreciate bank robbers as long as no one is harmed! They’re really clever lol

The 'r' in anpr is recognition not retrieval

They only doing what the diamond exploiters do in Africa stealing so no big deal

When the white van first arrives on CCTV (5:53) it's something like a Fiat Ducato or Renault Trafic with a roof rack. It's described as being driven by Collins. When it returns (7:08) it's a Ford Transit without a roof rack, but apparently still driven by Collins... this was not explained.

This is some gta 5 stuff

Just watched the ITV Drama about these old geezers.

Pretty hard to commit a crime like this nowadays modern technology, too hard not to leave a trail

These Old Folks Just Made History..Salute 🙏🏼

Can't believe they made a mistake like using their own vehicles after otherwise pulling off a very intricate robbery!

Old school london villains never see people like these again

Like the Brink's-Mat curse i can see lots of people being bumped off by assassins creeping into their houses in the middle of the night and turning their heating down.

Brilliant mini doc. More like this please!

so who uses safety deposit boxes ???? dodgy jewellers and tax evaders

Let’s give them a round of applause 👏

so they got the bus down, walked in, opened the fire exit, got their bins of tools in. no violence and did this.. hahahahaha yes oldboys!!

20,000 pound reward on millions gone missing... cheap arses

Diamond geezers.

did the extremely hard bit.... fucked up the easy bit of not using your own car and not buying a hydraulic ram in your own name and leaving it in there. however without the car, i dont think theyd have ever been caught

Just watched the 2nd part of the drama series running on ITV about the heist, I think anyone who steals is a deluded fool, there's nothing on this planet worth stealing but I just can't help admiring these old fools for their shear audacity , it was an unbelievable job they pulled off, they didn't kill anyone only their own souls, they didn't injure, threaten , maim or upset anyone except the insurance companies , they were idiots but damm clever idiots.

ahahah bricktop doing a voice over? Excellent...my pedigree chums!!!

*Update - they found basil*

2:13..why do i find that yellow pen way more interesting than the actual documentary?

Sky news Scrubbers putting ADVERTS in but pay million to commentators. JOKERS

Is that Bricktop providing the voice-over towards the end? "Feed 'im to the pigs, Errol"! :-)

This is what the British did so well, I remember the sweeney mentioning the "HATTON GARDEN JOB",so the sweeney predicted this back in the 1970s

All that stuff and the company couldn't afford to pay for an onsite security guard ?? Doesn't seem right .The company could've raked in the insurance or shared in the loot themselves .

£20,000 reward for information on the missing third of the heist roughly 13 million. That's a top deal coppers, good luck with that 👍

North London the place 💍to be

Would have been the perfect heist if the hydraulic ram didn’t break they would have had it all empty aswell and gone in under a day shame fair play to them tho for giving it one last shot one last hurrah 👏🏻

They deserve a movie

Its never one last job, until they get caught.

This needs to be made into a movie

I wonder if someone is going to break into Fort Knox soon and pull off THE ACTUAL BIG ONE!

Brian Reader and his son parked across the entrance to my yard about 7 years ago. They started wandering off to see someone else so I shouted at them to move their car. Brian spent far more time arguing about it than it would have taken him to move the car. It was only when I threatened him with the recovery lorry that he moved. A typical old school villain with a leery gob and an over inflated sense of entitlement.

Great they let BRICKTOP do a bit of narrating :D

Also 20k reward?! Basil will double that 🤣

Would be ironic if they hid the loot in safe deposit box's

My sympathy is with the victims this was to a degree glamorised at time nothing glamours about stealing peoples things. These were hard working people who got robbed it’s immoral and wrong.

LOL right after I watched GTAV diamond casino heist tutorial, my recommendation got me here.

In jail better than pension (free medical, accommodation, food and the rest) these old blokes were planning there retirement

The one who got away was the true mastermind. Guy probably has all that missing loot.

Not one of them were smart. Using your own car, i mean come on.

UPDATE - Basil has been caught.. he had a distinct way of walking and CCTV was used to catch him.

Okay, I condemn the crime BUT HELL, this makes a great story!

If he didn't use his own car they could of got away with it

17:40 - Bricktop!! ha

Theres not any flowers in this garden

Here after watching King Of Thieves in 2019

"He went on the Hatton Garden Raid on a free travel pass....... it wasn't even his own." OMG!!! That sent a shiver down my spine. What a psychopath......

Driving your own motor to the crime scene was a bad enough own goal. But the 'inside job' bloke should have made sure his brother-in-law was kept out of it. Of course Old Bill are going to check out staff at the depot.

Was Ricky Hatton robbed

There is no fool, like an old fool. ( I know.....I am 77 )...lf I had been on this raid I would have needed a Walking stick, and my trusty VENTOLIN spray

Every single credit to them

Stealing from the rich nothing wrong with that

Tip o the hat to the gents..

All these mens families are comfortable for life' so I say well done lads.

I saw the film the other day Michael cane bloody great film

Terry Perkins died in prison 5th Feb 2018.

Basil aka. ghost got nicked, denied and got 10 years .. Two years of surveillance - got nicked due to his distinguished walk(!)

THE SECURITY WAS VERY NAIF TO THINK THAT WAS ALL QUIET WHEN THE CHECK THE DEPOSIT OFFICE. TOTALLY SLACKY

Collins and Jones made a couple of stupid mistakes that proved to be catastrophic..for them anyway...should never use your own car at all..and they should have disguised themselves when buying anything to be used on the job. Also a better procedure of opening the boxes..allowing a greater number to be opened more efficiently and quick ly...more thought regards post heist conditions would lhave helped..ps l think Billy the fish secured a sizable amount of cream from the top whilst it was in his custody.

Sounds like Bricktop reading the letter

Anyone else here because if king of thieves

Some people become so institutionalised, after a few stretches, or find reality too much to deal with they prefer prison. It gives them routine, they have almost zero responsibility and they’ll have someone always thinking about them-not always a guarantee outside. Wonder if one or two of these lads wanted to get caught?

72 boxes broke into out or 999. All that way and only 72 .my thoughts, one of those boxes was worth more than the rest, maybe getting away with it wasn't so important.??

Great heist,just 40 years too late!!With technology so advanced in this day and age!!!😉

I feel like they are explaining on how to get away with a perfect heist

Old school Islington Boys still at it hahaha

It was shame they did few things wrong and they got caught..

Some tax dodging rich lost their loot.

I know it's 3 years later but its called Automatic number plate recognition btw.

It genuinely devastates me they got caught! I've followed Brian Reader for a long time and would have been pleased for him,and them all to pull their one last job off and retire to the good life bless em

I dozed off a few minutes in then jolted back awake as it was ending,did they get the loot?

74 still chasing clout 😂 drip is life I love these guys

Must have been a pretty good adrenalin rush.

the old boys for got about the camra in the streets and he own car and buying tools in his name. they old this how they made mistakes shame it was one last job. for them. and one last bus ride with a travel pass that was not his own pass Just bad luck lads

They are thieves stealing from savers who had their life savings in that safe not insured-what do they care? Glad they got caught!

Alan Ford - AKA Brick Top - Perfect pick to voice the letter from the gangster

My guy basil got away with it bet he’s loving life

1400 idk he’s looking at camera a few times
