from The Crime Agents
Last weekend, a gang of thieves made off with hundreds of millions of Euros' worth of jewellery from the Louvre in Paris - including some of France's Crown Jewels. But how did they plan a job like this? How could the world's most famous museum be such an easy target? And how will the police be trying to track the perpetrators down?In this episode, Andy and Neil examine what we know so far about the biggest heist of the last few years - and explain how some of the thieves' mistakes could end up proving costly as the French police pull out the stops to catch the gang behind this crime.They also discuss why the public often seem to side with the villains in cases like this - and Andy and Neil reflect on some of the other most famous heists in history, from Hatton Garden in 2015 to the Great Train Robbery of 1963. Later, the pair reveal their top three favourite heist movies - and you won't want to miss Andy's Sean Connery impression.
