In this week's Wrap Sheet, we’re cracking open the glittering chaos that followed the infamous Brink’s-Mat Robbery—the “Crime of the Century” that didn’t just steal gold, but practically rewrote the criminal playbook in Britain.

Host Steve dives deep into what happened after the vault was cracked open:

  • How £26 million in gold bullion got melted, laundered, and turned into luxury flats
  • Why anyone who touched the gold ended up dead, jailed, or mysteriously vanished
  • How two burglars got caught thanks to… being late and naming their dogs Brinks and Mat
  • Why Kenneth Noye might be the most terrifying guy to ever own a garden
  • And how that gold is still hiding in plain sight—in your real estate, jewelry, and maybe even your pension fund

It’s crime, curse, and capital gains all in one—and this one’s got more bodies than a Shakespeare play with a gun.

🔍 Grab your metal detector and a cup of tea—we’re going full Guy Ritchie meets Final Destination on this one.

Don't miss:

Next week on Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, we’re ditching the gold bars for Gucci and diving into the world of luxury scams. Meet Anthony Gignac, the fake Saudi prince who conned billionaires, duped diplomats, and ordered caviar on credit… all while rocking a royal title he gave himself.

Was he a criminal mastermind or just a kid who wanted to play king?

Find out in next week’s Wrap Sheet: “Crowned Con: The Prince of Palm Beach.”

About the Podcast

Heists, Hustles, and Homicide
True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide - the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer...in story format.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators - and victims’ families - decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con - or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case - beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night - welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
Make sure to follow the show, and buckle up.
