This is the hunt for 3 tonnes of stolen gold. Told by the police who were there, this is the true story of Britain’s biggest bullion heist. It reveals how 1980s banking practice, the desire to rebuild London’s docklands and a lack of money laundering regulation all aid the robbers and handlers as they transform the biggest gold bullion haul into cash – and in doing so change our nation forever.
