"Analog criminals operating in a digital world" Perfect conclusion.
AAron Thom ...Lol
To be fair a big slip up like them using their own car would have got them busted back in the day too.
Not really, they looted the place which was digital, they were just clumsy and careless.
@@robertblack3867 They were caught because they didn't understand phones, cameras, and laptops. That's why they were digitial criminals in an analogue world.
@@David-ud9ju Perhaps, but it was their clumsiness that did them in not technology.
fair fuckin play to the old boys
chris emery ut is
'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!
He's the one who lead them to basil too and I'm pretty sure he turned against them all and grassed them all up,also I'm sure that he's the one who brought in billy Lincoln which made the gang turn against each other none of them thought he was trust worthy and they shouldn't have trusted him
He went on the bus to the heist with a free travel pass it wasn't even his own 😂😂
Kyle Barratt im creasing 😂😂😂😂😂
Salute ! Absolute chap !
Absolute mad lad!
And he had to leave early to make it to the 4 o'clock senior special at his favorite diner.
He got there on his own oap bus pass
“He went on the the Hatton Garden Raid on a free travel pass - it wasn’t even his own.” ABSOLUTE MAD LAD!!!
caught by using his or someone else's bus pass . a very British way to get arrested indeed ,hahaha !!
As long as they don’t kill anybody I’m pretty sure the public always root for bank robbers 😂
Millwall Joey Olordy lordy no i always root my girlfriends to have babys to get more centrelink man
Just give up the money
@@patmartin7072 what a dumb pointless comment.
Well, apart from those who lost their future securities and a chance to enjoy a happy retirement.
But yes somehow we love the underdog, though I'd have hated to have been a victim.
Nice job lads🌚
Amazing how they were so clever yet so dumb at the same time
Still is
Clever but not smart
Such a shame they didn’t get away with it.
Defo deserved the rewards for such a well executed robbery, just a shame they drink poison and talk too much
not sure why it's fair game they nick other people's stuff.
@@RiversRun597 who cares, its a badass story from history
they just went away for 24 hours, came back, did the robbery? Wow this is a world class safety deposit box facility.
Matt Hamilton I hope they were handed. Cup of tea on their return?😂😂😂
they purposefully targeted the bank holiday, where they knew the place was shut from Friday night through to Tuesday morning. any normal week obviously the place would have been open on the Saturday and they'd have never been able to return the next day as they'd have found the crime scene.
this could only be carried out on a bank holiday where no-one is there for a few days.
@@JC-ko1bp That's still incredible though. The stuff stored there is worth just a much during a bank holiday as during the week. How much would it cost them to have one or two guards make a round throught the building every few hours? Even just a single visit during that time could have prevented the heist.
@@P1nkR well yes but they deemed the vault theft proof. they never thought anyone could break into it if they allowed them to try.
@@P1nkR it is ridiculous.... but they had what they thought was an impenetrable vault... and the best alarm system so the robbers wouldnt ever get to the vault anyway.
i mean these guys made some embarrassing errors, but what they did manage to do was nothing short of genius and to this day they have no idea who they disabled that alarm. still dont know how they got a key, and obviously were massively let down by the security team who never bothered to go inside and the police who never showed up.
so they were paying a guard to go round if the alarm sent an SMS, which it did.
Ocean's 65 - One last job.
😂😂😂😂 i died reading this made my day!!!
£20.000 for information thats a poor reward lool
yet someone got it - cant convict on a cctv image of a car n the fact they bought a power tool
Precisely.
@@mcfcguvnors nobody got it.
they bugged the car and the whole gang are in it talking about the heist. not to mention the car belonged to a notorious criminal
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.
Or were just monumentally incompetent and stupid.
anyone who robs banks i hope they get away just as long as the don't shoot or kill anyone have at it
Amen to that unlese if u have to tho to get away tho
u want then also to get away if ur money was in there?
WTH! that’s not how banking works.
It wasn’t a bank. Private deposit safe used by jewellers. Crumby thieves.
It’s stealing from individuals, not a bank. Peoples pension pots held in those boxes.
These Old Folks Just Made History..Salute 🙏🏼
Basil got away and is living like a king ,
He got nicked this week mate
@@soulbass2714 Wrong. On the 4th Feb this year, The Sun posted an article discussing the gang/Basil and essentially admitted that Basils identity is still unknown.
SEVENTEEN... basil appeared in court in March news.sky.com/story/final-hatton-garden-suspect-appears-in-court-accused-of-helping-elderly-gang-11308104
google - Michael seed - weird what comes up on the right hand side of the page - prince andrew !?! lmao
And the best of luck to him.
If these geezers knew anything about current technology THEN it would have been the perfect crime
I like how they used Brick Top from snatch to narrate his letter 😂
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.
Noticed that myself
nice spot
no guns,no violence
Jeffrey Dohnger lol exactly
They could have been stealing sentimental items though.
👍
kev b no brains.
I wonder why they didn't use that defence in court?
I can always appreciate bank robbers as long as no one is harmed!
They’re really clever lol
Burglars... that's why the small sentences
Weird
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.
Such a cool story. I actually kinda wish they got away woth it
Brilliant mini doc. More like this please!
Can't believe they made a mistake like using their own vehicles after otherwise pulling off a very intricate robbery!
The 'r' in anpr is recognition not retrieval
"slept in his mothers dressing gown with a fezz hat on"I call that madness not eccentric
i call it normal
I call it every Tuesday night.
I call it normal, for these wet lettuce's
Nowadays that's what half of London wears.
Karl Nelson there was sum insest goin on there
Let’s give them a round of applause 👏
Just watched the ITV Drama about these old geezers.
What was it called please?
Most of the stolen items we’re initially stolen themselves from illicit gains anyway
Pretty hard to commit a crime like this nowadays modern technology, too hard not to leave a trail
They deserve a movie
They've got one it's called the hatton garden job haha
It's already out called king of thieves
King of thieves much better
Watch the bank job
Old school london villains never see people like these again
This is some gta 5 stuff
Legends free them all up
They’re not there all idiots and they got court
@@grenadewarrior9334 court
@@Slippzy yeah they got court then they got the jail 😂
2:13..why do i find that yellow pen way more interesting than the actual documentary?
Because you'd only watched 2 minutes and 13 seconds of the show at that point?
The one who got away was the true mastermind. Guy probably has all that missing loot.
"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......
That hardly makes him in psychopath, yeah he was a notorious robber but he wasn't a murderer or sicko, and I'm sure there a thousands of people who travel everyday on fake bus passes....
This comment clearly went over some people's heads 😂😂
had me in hysterics
@@brianclarke61993 Jesus Christ mate, I take it understanding sarcasm isn't a strong point of yours?
@@davielefthook I actually do understand sarcasm, it's only when I actually read it back that I understood it was sarcasm, I totally misread the comment. I genuinely thought he was being serious 😬😬 my bad !
*Update - they found basil*
UPDATE - Basil has been caught.. he had a distinct way of walking and CCTV was used to catch him.
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.
LOL right after I watched GTAV diamond casino heist tutorial, my recommendation got me here.
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!!
Is that Bricktop providing the voice-over towards the end? "Feed 'im to the pigs, Errol"! :-)
Yeah it is! I caught that too!
They only doing what the diamond exploiters do in Africa stealing so no big deal
so true
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.
Should of pulled out a shotgun and the big mouth would become silent
A lie is a lie
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
This needs to be made into a movie
+anUntouchable the Oceans cast would be about the right age by now
+anUntouchable Michael Caine's name is written all over it.
anUntouchable
ain't Larry lamb in it?
It is a movie. Its called One last heist.
Diamond geezers.
Its never one last job, until they get caught.
I thought it started playing Matt Monro, on days like these. I haven’t seen the Italian job in years.
Alan Ford - AKA Brick Top - Perfect pick to voice the letter from the gangster
Also 20k reward?! Basil will double that 🤣
Such a good clip💯
Watched the same advert 6 times while watching this. Couldn’t skip it either. Nice
ad block
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 .
Thought I was watching something out of snatch with Alan fords voice 17:27
I feel like they are explaining on how to get away with a perfect heist
Great touch
17:40 - Bricktop!! ha
*How did the alarm system send SMS?*
I saw the film the other day Michael cane bloody great film
Sounds like Bricktop reading the letter
Every single credit to them
For being stupid and getting busted?
The people that cheer these idiots on must be thieves themselves.
I don't understand why vaults like this don't just have 24-hour monitoring. It wouldn't necessarily need to be someone sitting in one spot, it could be someone who just checks in every few hours or someone taking an occasional look at a camera feed.
The reason for no camera security was because many of the items in the safety deposit boxes were stolen items. The people who stored them did not want cameras filming their identity.
Must have been a pretty good adrenalin rush.
This is bloody brilliant 😂 something Michael de Santa would plan all they needed was lester
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
Great effort
Has anybody considered the buzz factor alone being involved in the venture? The risk is always there, but the excitement of challenge can be overpowering, and all-consuming to some!
I heard that when they finally got into the vault that none of them could remember what they went in for.
I wonder if someone is going to break into Fort Knox soon and pull off THE ACTUAL BIG ONE!
Guy attended the heist with a stolen bus pass, what a guy.
reminds me of that michael caine/morgan freeman movie....:) aging robbers
Nice touch getting Brick top to read that letter
Sorry is Bricktop reading the letters? Amazing.
I know it's 3 years later but its called Automatic number plate recognition btw.
12:45 this got me TRIGGERED! its Automatic Number Plate Recognition?!?!!?
That guy has awesome handwriting
Great heist,just 40 years too late!!With technology so advanced in this day and age!!!😉
I dozed off a few minutes in then jolted back awake as it was ending,did they get the loot?
Yep
Terry Perkins died in prison 5th Feb 2018.
Like how bricktop is reading the letters
haha they used Brick Top (Alan Ford) for Danny Jones' letter
Would be ironic if they hid the loot in safe deposit box's
Have they found all the jewellery yet or some missing
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?
Okay, I condemn the crime BUT HELL, this makes a great story!
Don’t condemn it no violence was used
Even at their ages the buzz is still there! I can kind of understand that in a way
Where were they taking their equipment in? A building next to the vault?
The fire exit /side door into Hatton garden
£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 👍
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.
Is that alan ford doing the voiceover for the letters?
20,000 pound reward on millions gone missing... cheap arses
Theres not any flowers in this garden
Did it say what year it was?
Great they let BRICKTOP do a bit of narrating :D
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.??
At the end..." just a hole in the wall nothing more "
Interesting and informative. Unfortunately for the most part. The jewellers lost out big time.
ahahah bricktop doing a voice over? Excellent...my pedigree chums!!!
