Original subtitles

The following programme contains strong language.

Go, go, go!

Shh. Keep the noise down. Grab the gear.

Come on! Let's go!

Quick, quick, quick! Come back.

Get that alarm sorted.

Yes!

Go on!

We're in.

Start bringing the gear.

Give us the drill, here. Let's line it up.

Power on, yeah? Power.

Go, go, go!

Behind this wall is a shitload of money.

First hole's through, guys! (CHEERING)

Show me the money!

Holy shit!

But this is just the beginning.

If anyone can nail these buggers, it's us.

Police! Stay where you are!

Shit! Who's that? Eyes on.

Strike, strike, strike.

In like Flynn, mate. All received.

We have got to find this money.

Otherwise we are gonna look like a bunch of muppets.

Don't think the cops would look here.

Let's make them make a mistake.

I've got to do this...

Oh, shit!

..for Garry and the kids.

We mustn't let her get away with this money.

Don't bury Mummy and run away with the money.

Yeah, we're on foot now!

Makes you really quite scared. Shit!

We're gonna get out there. We're gonna take that money back.

We've got him in view.

Mission Impossible, eat your heart out.Oh!

He's Googled Beluga caviar....

(LAUGHS)

Cheers, partner.

She's a little liar. Whoo!

£3,000 on a watch! No!

No!

It's him, it's him, it's him.

Yes. There we go!

You're under arrest for theft. He's coughed!

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

You stole that million pound.

On England's far northern shore lies Northumberland

and the historic town of Alnwick,

home to 8,000 inhabitants.

The average wage in these parts is £25,000 a year.

Here, nine ordinary people have been chosen to execute...

# Da, da, da-da da # Da, da, da

# Let's go, girls! #

..an audacious heist.

Yes!

Scary.

Let's get going, baby.

This is the most amazing half-cocked frigging plan I've ever done.

Oop! (LAUGHS)

I was in the police for 12 years.

And I want to have some bloody good fun.

And I want to do something that's a bit naughty.

If they can pull it off...

I've got my Imodium here to stop my tummy problem.

Right, you got everything?

..and keep the money hidden for three weeks...

Donald Trump, bank robber extraordinaire.

..it's theirs to keep.

Grrr! Hiya!

(BABY CRIES)

If I get the money, I want to treat the little 'un, Archie.

And splash out on an engagement ring for Debbie.

Become a villain to make my other half an honest woman!

Just have your attention for a moment.

In the unlikely event of an accident...Your emergency exits.

..ask everyone to remain calm and follow crew instructions.

Oh, dear.

The closest I've been to being a criminal

is when I was six, I stole my friend's birthday cake

and nobody knew until the next day.

I've never done any criminal activity.

I'm sure I've seen you change a label on something.

That's YOU. That is you, doing that.

"Shall I just put the sale sticker on that?" And I'm like, "No, Mum".

That is you.

I'm breathing heavily already and I haven't even done much yet.

These amateur thieves are about to meet for the first time.

Is it in here?

You are so professional, mate.

Wish me luck.

Gather round.

We are going to be doing a Hatton Garden-style bank robbery.

We are going to be robbing some money from the Bank of Northumbria.

Oh, my God.

How much money do we think is in there?

You know what, a tenner would do me, at the minute.(LAUGHTER)

We've got no idea of the sort of loot we're going to be grabbing.

But I can imagine it's going to be the sort of money

that I would have to work the best part of a decade to even dream of.

This is something that will change all of our lives.

IF we're able to pull it off.

Everybody listening? Yeah.yeah.

This is the plan.

This is the bank. It is on Fenkle Street.

No. 39-41.

Our entry point is here.

Run up round the back of the buildings here, across the garden.

Can't believe we need all this bloody gear.

And into the back of the bank. Here.

This is an old coal chute,

which is bricked up for ventilation.

It'll have to be smashed in.

Oh, this is hard.

Once in, we're gonna drill through this wall into the vault.

Bloody hell! That drill keeps slipping.

Why haven't we got a spanner that fits?

We're going to need somebody to work the drill.

Babe, I can do it. Don't worry.

I'm just a beauty therapist from Loughton in Essex.

I'm possibly going to have to commit this and then go off to a wedding

and try to apply that bridal eyeliner in a straight line.

And here is the vault, with a cage around it.

The cage needs to be opened with an angle grinder.

I'm very happy with an angle grinder cos I quite like that.

I don't want to disappear into the wallpaper.

I don't want to just go down that slippery slope of getting old

and turning beige.

I still want to feel alive

and I can't think of anything better than robbing a bank.

Here are some safety deposit boxes

which will have to be smashed to get the loot out.

Somebody to swing the sledgehammers. Yeah, I'm happy to do that job.

And if I need somebody else, somebody can just be a booster.

Champion. Then we bag the loot up and we get the hell on out of Dodge.

Happy days.

When we do the job, Christine, you're going to be the lookout.

Are you happy -

I'm happy to do it as long as I've got detailed instructions.

I'm very worried about... just letting you down.

ALL: No, no.

We're all worried. We'll all support each other.

You'll be a good watch-out,

cos you're always looking out the window.(LAUGHS)

At the neighbours. Aren't you?

A curtain-twitcher. That's it.

It is the style of Hatton Garden.

Do you think we all need to be dressed the same?

Do it like they did it? And they had masks on.

I think we should all wear the same.

Navy blue boiler suits for everyone.

Right, let's do equipment we need to get.

The drill, lump hammers, bolt cutters and expanding foam.

I think I've got most of that. Champion.

Then next, it's communications.

We should get burner phones cos the police can't track them.

Personally, I think the cheapest, nastiest phone you can get,

sim card, bang it in.

Once the heist is done, in the bin they go.

Those phones will be gone.The number can't be traced to anybody.

Happy with that? So I'll go and get the sim cards.

When I was in the police, I went into the vice squad,

working undercover.

I loved it. Absolutely loved it.

I probably had at least a dozen Chief Constable's Commendations.

If the detectives find out I'm ex-police,

gamekeeper turned poacher,

that will irk them but that's part of the reason why I want to do it.

It's a bit of sport.

Obviously we're going to need transport.

Going to need two getaway cars. I could get a van quite easily.

I'm just going to trawl the web to find a car.Let's go.

ALL: Let's go!

Good luck, everyone.

"Now arriving at Glasgow Central."

I'm doing The Heist because I've had a lot of hardship in life.

Wondering whether I put fuel in the car or get food on the table.

Finding out what this sum's going to be

is all I'm thinking about, all the time.

I'm starting it up.

Ryan has travelled north to pick up a Volvo he found online.

I'm on my way to meet Helen.

Oh, she's a beauty, this one. A proper beauty.

Thank you very much.

Well, I think we deserve a bit of a pat on the back for that.

Mwah! Helen.Yeah?

One last thing.

Good idea. "Angels of the North".

That could be the name of our gang. Excellent. Excellent.

Excellent.

Come on, baby!

That's perfect. Sideways on.

Oh, I'm getting excited now. Are you?

Number One to everybody.

Receiving. Over.

Is everything going to plan? Cos I'm so worried about you all.

Everything is going absolutely perfect.

Third hole through! (CHEERING)

Wind it back.

Good job, good job.

Hole three is through.

Right, Ishy. In you go, son.

Want us to push your feet?

Watch yourself.

Right, number one's in.

Right. In you go. Camera's secure!

Let's go! Get in there. Quick as you can.

Don't worry about getting wet.

Right, Micky, in you go.

Fuckin' hell, this is tight.

No way I'm getting through there.

Well, that's disappointing. I cannae get in.

Here we go!

(GRUNTS)

Swing out there, sunshine.

Yes!

Coins, baby. Coins.

Another one here!

Watch your heads.

Helen! You're doing it all wrong.

Don't wind people up, man, for fuck's sake.

I know you want to be in there. I want to be in there.

How hard can it be?

Calm down. Take some deep fucking breaths.

It just seems like we're going round in circles.

You badgering the whole time isn't helping things.

You might think you are but you're not.

Try it, try it. Have a go.

Calm down.

Go on! Go on! Fucking money! Come on!

We're nearly there.

Yeah!

We're in! Got it! We're in!

Smack the fuck out of it now!

Give me a hammer. Go on, give 'em hell, lads!

Crowbar. Big crowbar. Big fucker. Get it in there.

Get it in there, go on. Go on.

Come on! Come on!

Anyone smell that? Smells good to me, baby.

I'm gonna buy a yacht, then a plane, then a pony.

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Fuckin' 'ave it!

Over here. Helen! Helen! Helen!

This is the best thing I've done all day.

Everything there is, get it. We want it all.

Go, go, go. Bags, bags, bags.

Holy shit! Look at that! (LAUGHS)

That's 50 grand!

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

Keep going! Keep going! Come on!

(BEEPING)

Alarm! Shit. Let's go.

Don't leave nothing behind!

Fuck me! Come on!

How many more to go? One more.

I need the big masher. Give me the big masher!

(PHONE CHIMES)

Sue Hill. "This is control."

The detectives receive information about the robbery.

"..believed to be on site."

(BEEPING) Smash the alarm! Crush it to fuck!

"Rear access is by a footpath on Fenkle Street.

Confirmation: there's a burglary in progress."

OK. Got it.

Hello, guvnor. Ray, we've got a burglary.

Bank of Northumbria. I need you to get there now.

One more smash. Come on.

Yes! Let's go. Let's go.

That's them all done, is it?

Start putting them in the van. Go, go, go! Got to get out of here.

(ALARM SOUNDS)

We've got suspects on the Bank of Northumbria. Get down there now.

The guvnor wants you straight away. Giles, get the team in now.

Clear left. Clear left. Go.

Come on! Come on!

Let's get the fuck out of here. Give me your hand.

Hurry up! Come on!

There's the fork.

Take that! Whose is that?

That's Will's. He's busy cleaning.

Leave it there for Will.

Fetch the bags up, quick!

Come on, Angels. Let's go, go, go!

Are we running? Yes!

Get the back. Get the back. Get the back.Round the back!

Round the back, round the back.

Oh! For fuck's sake.

Police!

Oh, Jesus!

Craig.

We've missed them. They're long gone.Fuck it.

ALL: Whoo!

There is some money there. What time is it, anyway?

Anyone know what time it is?

Time to go and count the fucking money!

They've gone into the vault. Hatton Garden job. It's carnage.

Shit, man.

The thieves return to the warehouse with their ill-gotten gains.

(ALL JUBILATING)

Did you see that fucking money? (ALL CHEERING)

Angels!

Well done, everyone. Let's get the loot out.Yes.

We'll get it all out. Let's see what we've got.

Go on. What have we got? Gone in round the back.

Looks like they've gone through the vault. We don't know what's gone.

Heading up the investigation

is former Detective Chief Superintendent Sue Hill,

with her deputy, Ray Howard.

Between them, they have over 60 years experience

in fraud and organised crime.

This is where they got in. This is the hole.

Had a good go at that, haven't they? Somebody must have heard that.

Somebody must have heard that noise. The vault's around there but we probably shouldn't go any further.

I think we leave it now. Get the crime scene manager,

get the team down here, get the SOCOs down here.

Our only opportunity of a bit of evidence.

Oh, God!

We have a lot to do in here.

We call this "the golden hour".

And every minute that's ticking away,

that means they're getting away and we're losing evidence.

We need CCTV.

Find witnesses, secure the scene.

Preserve all the evidence we've got.

# Money, money, money

# Would be funny

# In a rich man's world #

Holy shit!

40, 80...

120. 160 grand in that bag alone.

Yeah. 160 fucking grand!

There's 40 grand in each one of them.

In the centre of Alnwick,

tasked to track down the thieves and retrieve the stolen cash,

are a crack team of Britain's best detectives.

So this is serious. We want every witness found.

We want every witness interviewed.

I want suspects within the next few days.

These investigators have charged hundreds of criminals

involved in some of the biggest crimes in the UK.

Including the Hatton Garden heist.

We want every single CCTV option exploited.

We want every bit of digital data we can find sorted out,

downloaded and on our desks. OK?

If there's anyone that can nail these buggers, it's us.

So let's get on it. Yeah.

One, two, three, four, five.

There's 10 there so there's 400 grand there.

31, 32, 33...

(ALL COUNTING)

640 grand there. And what's in these bags.

500 in pounds.

Shall we leave the coppers a couple of quid?(LAUGHTER)

Two big men. Wonderful!

I don't think they're going to expect two boring boat operators

to kind of pull off something like this.

Hey, there's nothing boring about these two boat operators.

Right, we'll do the wheelhouse windows.

If you sponge, I'll squeegee.

I met Ryan about two years ago.

There's gonna be window cleaners cringing at us.

Both worked together on tour boats round the Farne Islands.

Our local name for a puffin is a Tommy Noddy.

I'm a skipper. He's a rope monkey.

Er... Basically he's my bitch. He's got to do as he's told.

Which never usually works but... No.

Oh, I can barely hang on.

I like to make people laugh.

No matter how bad a day you're having yourself,

if you can pick somebody else up, you're doing all right.

That's how I live life.

Looking forward to getting rich

and drinking pina coladas on a beach in...Mexico.

2,000, 3,000...

4,000...

5, 6, 7,000.

8, 9,500.

How much is that?

Added all up. No, it's...it's a million.

It's a million pounds! It's a million pounds!

(CHEERING)

111 grand each. Fuckin' hell!

Cigars and fucking croissants!

(LAUGHTER)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello. Incident Room.

The detectives receive details about how much was stolen from the bank.

(GASPS) Goodness. Thank you. Bye.

God, I feel a bit sick. Erm, a million pounds.

How much? A million.

If there's a million quid at stake, they will not be messing about.

Right, well, that ups the ante.

Listen up. Straight away on the CCTV.

We need to catch these bastards.

Yeah. And you wanna see the same one you saw, yeah?

Giles, can you look at the CCTV? I think we'll set the parameters

from the time the bank closed last night to 10 o'clock this morning.

With over 30 years in the Met Police,

former Flying Squad detective Keely Smith is managing the team.

These days, because of all the technology that we have access to,

it's much harder for criminals to hide their tracks.

All we need is one little lead

and that could lead to a thousand other avenues.

And we could be on a roll.

Right, we've got it. We've got something!4.45.

Get in!

Silver saloon, reverses up. That's a Volvo.

That's a Volvo, mate. And then...

That's two cars.

Two cars. That's a Ford. Ford Fiesta.

The first one gets out is a blonde woman, isn't it?

Yeah. Slow it right down.

Hang on. It could be a wig.

Don't forget. Hatton Garden, ginger. He was a bald geezer.

Yeah, he was wearing a wig.

There's got to be at least five people.

They've got blue boiler suits on.

Yeah. And they go in.

They've gone in down the alley. I think so.

Six, seven...eight.

Eight suspects, we think.

I'm looking at interior now.

Oh, yes. Have we got a face?

Tell me we've got a face.

Donald Trump. Donald Trump face now.

Bollocks.

Camera's down. Fucking Donald Trump.

Are they leaving now?

The thieves are seen leaving the bank, heading southeast.

Oh, shit! Ah!They've sprayed the Volvo.

They've sprayed shit all over the Volvo.

There's graffiti all over the bonnet of the Volvo.

Absolute twats!

Angels of the North.

Looks like it. Yeah, it says Angels of the North.

They literally do not give a shit. That is the middle of town

and they've spray painted something right across the bonnet.

These guys are proper brazen. Yeah.

Intelligence analysts Paul McAnulty and Adara Ashley

are specialists in cracking criminal syndicates.

So this is South Road. I think they're following the bus.

Using a technique called CCTV battening,

they track the thieves to the outskirts of Alnwick.

That's them. That's them. So that's the Volvo.

And where's he going? Right.

And the Ford's following him, yeah.

So those two are still in convoy.

That's into the industrial estate.

Could be that they've gone and split it up on the industrial estate.

Where does that lead? Nowhere. It's a dead end.

Guys, there's a warehouse at the end of the estate.

And it looks like it's not been used for a few years.

As you go into the estate,

it's the last building on the right-hand side.

I've now deployed all the teams down to the industrial estate.

This is where we think they could be counting out the money.

It's a perfect location. It's derelict.

There are no nosy neighbours there.

There is a realistic chance that those suspects could still be there.

We need to be quick, guys!

This Focus needs trashed.

Get this shit done!

We need to start spraying and getting DNA gone.

Get sprayed. Get sprayed.

That's it. Good job. Keep going. Keep going.

(LAUGHTER)

Let me see how heavy it is. I'll carry it.

Garry, can you manage it?

Yeah. Are you all right? Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

All right, let's go!

The thieves split up, each with an equal share of the loot.

Let's get the fuck out.

If they can stay off the detectives' radar for the next three weeks,

it's theirs to keep.

They've actually turned off up here.

Gary! Holy shit! This weighs a tonne!

Come on! I'm right behind you, son.

Oh, fuck!

Come on, son.

Garry, come on, son. Come on, we're nearly there, Garry.

We're in the open here. Quick as you can.

Come on, son. Come on! Come on, Garry! Come on.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Come on, son. I am fucked.You can do it.

You go. I'll catch you up.

Keep on going straight on. It's not going to be too far up.

It's so heavy.

SATNAV: Turn left. Turn here.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Right, let's get out of here, quick.

Garry!

Up here!

Get in the front!

Jesus Christ, it stinks. What a mess.

We've got the vehicles. Volvo. Focus.

What is that smell? There's a bleach bottle there.

Bleach and oil.

They've smeared something nasty

all over everything they would have touched.

Smeared swarfega everywhere.

There's crap all over the seats as well.

It's a right mess.

They're clearly forensically aware, aren't they?Yeah.

They've tried to really clear up the scene.

But there are some forensic opportunities for retrieval for us.

There's somebody who's not very stable in that team of people.

To do that. And think it's a good idea.

So that says to me that yeah, we've got some clever people to catch.

We've also got some idiots. Yeah.

Are you there, Tick?

Move in now. Now, now, now.

Tickety-Boo, Tickety-Boo. Please get me. Please get me.

We're in the open here. Quick as you can.

Oh, fuck. Where the bloody hell is he?

Two hours ago, nine thieves carried out a million-pound heist.

Now, on an estate near the warehouse where they divided the money,

Mickey and Ryan are still waiting for their getaway driver.

Oh, bollocks.

Their getaway plan in tatters,

Micky risks going to his house nearby to collect his own car.

I know.

Can't believe I had to use my own car to get away from the heist.

That was a complete and utter balls-up.

Hopefully I haven't been caught on camera so I'm getting away with it.

The nine thieves live in and around the town of Alnwick.

For the next 20 days, they must move, hide and spend some of their money.

If they stay off the detectives' radar, it's theirs to keep.

But they must give up their cash

if there's enough evidence to charge them.

Meet the money!

(SQUEALS)

Just swimming in money!

Whey! Baby, we done it!

Good thinking, Batman.

You're not going to believe what's in here.

Bloody hell. How much is there?

111 grand. You're joking.

Jesus.

I'm absolutely buzzing but what can you even see?

Casino, blow it, all on black.

I'm going to hide it in the hot tub.

I'm going to get separation anxiety.

Move Ryan's loot.

I cannot see anybody coming around here and finding it.

Give me a hand down, and I'll step in.

(SPLASH) Fuckin' hell!

I'm going to cover this all up with tea towels

and then tomorrow I'm going to bury it.

Only you do want to spend some, don't you?

Cos you want a new frying pan. Want a new frying pan.

And some wooden spoons for your kitchen.

There we go, nicely covered.

I'll tell them I've made some homemade bread and it's proving.

They haven't got to touch it. It's got to stay warm.

One, two, three...

(LAUGHS)

Don't let the dog eat the money.

We've robbed a million and we've split it. £111,000.

Bloody hell.

This way. Come on.

If I am successful and I can get to the end,

I am going to be giving the money to a school in Alnwick

called Barndale House School

which was fantastic to support us

with our daughter when she was there.

Bethany was our much-wanted third child. Completed the family.

She had spastic quadriplegia, she was blind, she could never speak.

We had her for 16 fabulous years.

And then sadly Bethany died.

She was beautiful. She was... She was...

She giggled, she had two older brothers that took her everywhere.

She was just lovely. Lovely.

Most of the money, if I can get through to the end,

is to donate to Barndale.

Because when we had Beth, it was hard, wasn't it?

So that's what I want. Yeah. Aw.

No, I know. But so... And I feel...

I'll feel good about that for the rest of my life

cos it's helping other people.

And I just bloody hope I'm not the first one to be caught.

I don't think you will.

On the industrial estate where the thieves split their money,

detectives JP Barbe and Georgina Bradley

are searching for witnesses.

Hi. Is it possible to have a word with somebody?Hi there.

What's your name, sir?

So the Bank of Northumbria was robbed this morning.OK.

We've got reason to believe that the people that were responsible

have returned to this industrial estate.

OK, yeah.Have you noticed anyone coming in and out of next door?

The last two or three days, we've had quite a bit of traffic.Right.

And have you noticed anyone in particular walking around?

Saw a woman the other day walking past. She had...

Must have been to Aldi, shopping.

Looked like she was wearing a rain mac with a hat as well.

And why would you say it was Aldi? It was the bag.

Looked like it was one of their bag for lifes from Aldi.

She's been back and forth quite a few times.

The detectives have their first significant lead.

There is a key witness that says at midday, there was a woman

on the day before the heist,

walking through the industrial estate.

And she was wearing a mac, she was carrying an Aldi bag.

She's the only opportunity we've got at the moment

of any suspect that isn't wearing a Donald Trump mask

or any other mask.

So let's get that CCTV from Aldi.

She might have been captured going in and going out.

Who is she? Why was she there?

We need to find her. We need to find her fast.

Because I think she is key to this inquiry.

It's a lovely day to be burying some money.

Helen's roped in sons Charlie and Alex to help hide her loot.

Bertie, your job is to listen out for drones and pesky police, OK?

He's the brains of our operation at the minute. Ha-ha-ha!

Thinking as an ex-police officer,

I've spent so many sweaty hours in the back of an observation van,

I know what I'm doing.

Don't bury Mummy and run away with the money.

I feel the police are never going to find the loot where I've hidden it.

Knowing how they work, they would think, big house,

they're bound to hide it in the house.

I don't necessarily think they're going to be that good.

Right. Really happy with that.

That's job number one done.

I've just got to make sure now

I'm destroying absolutely everything.

So everything I've touched, used, worn.

Going to burn this coat because if anything's going to catch me out,

it would be if they found this in the house.

Everything, including my burner phone,

it's going to get smashed up now. And burnt to smithereens.

Oh, yes!

I know that they're going to be looking for everything that

physically can link me with the crime.

I'm determined not to make it easy for them.

It looks very much like you, Mum. That was me this morning.

That's awful!

Whoa!

Going up in smoke. Fantastic. Really pleased.

Got CCTV that's just come back.

Oh, let's see, Giles.

This is the CCTV we've got of the lady coming out from Aldi.Right.

This is the lady.

Oh, come on. Let's have a look at her face.

Is that a mask? It's definitely a disguise.

She's got glasses on. Maybe that's part of her disguise.

Is that a ponytail?No, she's got like a hat with a scarf on it.

She's got a distinctive jacket on.

A distinctive brown bag. Long bag.

And the guy that described her at the gym,

that's exactly what she was wearing. I'm sure that's the same woman.

Maybe someone will recognise her. We'll go on social media,

and say: does anyone know this woman?

That really might put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Fingers crossed she is the suspect.

Fingers crossed she sees this and then shits herself

and starts making mistakes.

Can I just have five minutes. Let's catch up.

Two days after the heist,

the detectives are still trying to work out who the suspects are.

How are we getting on? Anything new?

We've got eight suspects on CCTV

coming out of the bank.

By analysing their body shape, height, and what they're carrying,

we believe we've got a mixture of men and women.

But they're disguised well.

A million pounds is at stake here.

And we've got nobody identified.

But that much money burns holes in people's pockets.

They'll be splashing the cash and we'll be behind them.

Just been and retrieved some loot.

Whoo-hoo!

And that is going to go and be spent on an engagement ring for Debbie.

I feel like Pretty Woman.

Three, four, five, six, seven.

I like the chain.

Just something I can wear every day and not too fussy.

Something really plain.

18-carat if you have one.

Well, the only one I've got 18-carat is that one.Ooh, lovely.

Ooh, lovely.

It might hide the wrinkles in my neck.

So there's my new toy, there.

On the back of the trailer.

There's my new toy boy.

Can you give that to Mummy?

Good boy. Mummy!

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Come here. Kiss. Good boy.

The most important thing was to get rid of the evidence. And I can now begin the fun part.

I've got an idea of how to have a bit of a lark with the police.

I'm going to have my own boys in blue.

We've put pictures of the woman that we've seen at Aldi

out on Facebook but absolutely nothing has come back.

so what we need to do is just change the focus of the investigation

onto the getaway vehicles.

We know that the thieves have tried to be really clever

and destroy as much evidence as they can.

But what they didn't do is destroy the chassis numbers

and the number plates that were on the vehicles.

And that could be their downfall.

Stand by.

We've spoken to the previous keeper of the Ford Focus.

She got a phone call from somebody claiming to be Elizabeth

who said she was coming with a man. Claimed to be mum and son.

They're there for literally ten minutes.

Showed very little interest in the car.

They want to get in and out as quickly as possible.

The man is well-built. She's in her 50s, 60s.

Slim build, longish hair.

And interestingly, she is wearing a waxed jacket.

Bingo. So it could be Aldi Lady.

So the net is starting to tighten a little bit round Aldi Lady.

And hopefully we can put a name to her and stop calling her Aldi Lady.

Cos we'll know who she is.

The intelligence analysts search the car seller's call history

to find the phone number used by the thieves.

All right, guys, those phone records

show that a number 5567 called on three separate occasions.

Records show that it's a Vodafone pay-as-you-go.

There is no registered subscriber.

So they're using burner phones.

A lot of people think they're being really clever

when they use unregistered pay-as-you-go.

But they've used it to make a call. That's a data trail right there.

That's the fatal error. By doing that, we can find out who they are.

It will increase my confidence if we backtrack everything we've done,

identify weak spots, tighten them up, close them off,

and then I'm on the front foot. I don't like being on the back foot.

Obviously, what have you done with your burner phone?

Burnt it.

So what's the timeline?

So we started off with the sim cards.

Vulnerability, me, looking like an absolute idiot

with a wig that wasn't put on properly cos I was hot and sweaty,

buying five sim cards.

So you were wearing your disguise coat that you burnt?Yes.

OK, they won't be able to link you to that.

What about the actual burner phone itself?

Making calls to people. Who did you contact off the burner phone?

Ryan, mainly. And I tried to call the other thieves but...

..they were all keeping a bit low and didn't put the phones on.

OK, OK. But you didn't call anyone you know off the burner phone?

Dad. You called Dad?

You called the house number? Yeah, yeah.

And how did you get credit on the sim cards? Or did you not?

Marks and Spencer's card. You used your bank card?

It's a credit card. So I need to lose my credit card.

But there's no point if you've paid on the credit card already.

Then they're going to know.

Right. Um...

I'm just really cross with myself cos I'm just so feeling...

I'm just not doing it right and I'm not thinking.

Bu it's so hard!

And I'm just...

Now I'm just worried that somebody's going to come and knock on my door.

Next time on The Heist...

Hello? (GASPS) Who's that?

Helen Ruff! Hey!

You're under arrest for theft.

Back in the day when we started,

we'd look people in the eye like I'm looking at you.

Like I'm looking back at you cos I'm comfortable with this.

Money-money-money-money!

I'm moving my loot to the North Sea.

I'm sure it'll be safe down there.

Whoo!

There's something not right about these two.

I want you to rattle their cages and see if they slip up.

Oh, my God.
