HEIST: Bad Grandpas-The Hatton Garden Heist

This week, we’re taking you to London for one of the wildest burglaries in history — the Hatton Garden Heist. Over Easter weekend in 2015, millions in gold, diamonds, and cash vanished from a high-security vault in the heart of the UK’s jewelry district. But the biggest twist? The masterminds weren’t slick young criminals — they were men in their 60s and 70s, later nicknamed “The Bad Grandpas.” We’ll walk you through how they planned it, how they pulled it off, and how their old-school habits and egos brought it all crashing down.
