This dramatised documentary tells the true story of a brazen band of Aussie thieves who moved to London in the 1960s and ran riot for more than a decade, pulling off the most daring heists that Scotland Yard had ever seen.
Led by five charismatic master thieves: ‘The King’ Arthur Delaney, ‘Wee Jimmy’ Lloyd, Jack ‘The Fibber’ Warren, Billy ‘The General’ Hill and ‘Gorgeous Georgie’ Gardener, the team targeted the plush emporia of Knightsbridge, the fine jewellers of Mayfair, and the luxury retailers of Paris, Rome and beyond.
Operating at a time before CCTV, they elevated shoplifting to an art form practised without guns or violence - and they always found a way to simply ‘disappear’ with the loot.
In 1990, long after their heyday was over, one returned to London for the biggest heist of them all.
Delaney had always dreamed of robbing the most famous jewellery store in London - Asprey of Bond Street.
