Episode 101 - Brink's-Mat Robbery

from Horror at the Milk Bar

On 26 November 1983, armed robbers broke into a Brink’s-Mat security warehouse near Heathrow Airport in London expecting to steal cash. Instead, they discovered a vault holding 3,000 kilograms of gold bullion along with diamonds and money, worth about £26 million at the time. The gang escaped with the gold, which was later melted down and laundered through criminal networks, fuelling one of the largest money-laundering operations in British history. Much of the gold was never recovered, and the robbery became linked to years of organised crime and several mysterious deaths connected to the case.
