The Millennium Dome Diamond Robbery
a talk by Jools Lloyd
Jools was the Surveillance Team Leader working alongside The Flying Squad on their investigation into what became one of the most famous attempted robberies in criminal history. The attempt to steal the DeBeers Millennium Star and Blue Diamonds on display in a vault at the Millennium Dome in November 2000. The robbery has been subject to documentaries by ITV and Netflix (both of which Jools took part in), and has always been a fascination of the media. Jools will outline how the gang were identified after two vicious armed robberies and put under surveillance in order to arrest the gang at their 3rd attempt – The Dome. It is a first hand account of how the surveillance team managed to stay undetected for months until the commission of the robbery. It will also include certain facts and aspects not covered by ITV and Netflix.
