Frankie Fraser said about Kenneth Noye. ' If you found someone on your property lurking around at night, dressed in black with your wife and kids indoors what would you do? The detective was surprised he was found not guilty of murder.
Agreed. What other loving dad and husband wouldn’t do the same? Sending a copper on some stupid SAS mission? I blame the police for put one of their own in danger…
do you know WHY they had to sneak around ? cos they couldnt get a warrant why were they unable to get a warrant ? Cos some of Noyes mansion isnt owned by him its owned by the MOD its under the 100 year secrecy act of 1945 & you can be jailed ( eve as a copper ) without getting written approval from the home secretary who has no power to overrule law lords . 100 year secrecy act tells me that something sinister was under Noyes mansion . Its a bunker & Tunnel system . Wild guess it was the last resort if Germany invaded , Chemical & Bio weapons storage hence the 100 years ,2045 that becomes declassified

4:20 - security guard - “because I was in the army I’m trained to do what I’m told” - so he complied straight away when told to lay down. “Despite being a veteran of many armed conflicts, he was frozen in fear” A glowing endorsement for British Army being hired as security!
What did you expect him do when he's got 6 automatic rifles pointed at him? You want him to try fight them like a hero and most likely get killed over some money that's not even his? The fact that he used to be in the army is irrelevant because this is real life not a movie.

It's been noted that if you're living in the UK and have purchased gold jewelery manufactured after 1983, you're probably wearing some of the Brinks-Mat stolen gold.
The security gaurd said because he was in the army. I done exactly what I was told to do 😂😂😂 nothing to do with the hand cannon pointing at his head bless him
So this is basically the UK equivalent to the lufthansa heist in the U.S. Where the criminals stole so much money they couldn't even store/fence/track it all and the gangsters just started killing each other to cover it up.
very similar , the top players gave the game away when they started moving out of their little London flats to big houses out in the Kent countryside within months of the heist . McAvoy’s mistress moved out of her little flat to a big converted farmouse and bought 2 rottweilers she named “Brinks” and “Mat” , not exactly master criminals this lot
Something wrong somewhere. 6,800 gold bars each weighing 1 or 2 kilos (average 1.5kg) is 10,200 kg, 10.2 tons! 3 tons spread over 6,800 bars is about 440g per bar. Either that or there were only 2,000 bars.
I don't get it.....13 years for having 11 gold bars but let off for stabbing someone 11 times ? Is that REALLY self defense ? Once...maybe but not 11 times. What on earth was going on in that jury room ?
No warrant , and at the time he’s found a man on his property in a balaclava , that didn’t identity himself as a policeman . . He claimed he had the knife as was changing a car battery with it of something similar . Was silly of the police in all honesty and
Let off because he was on his own property. Guys dressed like robbers on his property! He wasn’t let off he didn’t commit a crime by stabbing him he was protecting his family

Surprised no one else commented on the effect the Brink's gold had on the investment of ecstasy in Britain in the early 90s. 34:02 - If it is in fact true, that's something I've never heard before and seems quite monumental. It was a cultural shift. The massive influx of all those pills, all those raves, and all those wild times influenced by a gold robbery? It would make sense if it is indeed true...and pretty crazy.

interesting documentary. shame the producers got basic facts so wrong, which makes me question the validity of the whole programme. Tate, Tucker and Rolfe (aka Essex Boys) weren't murdered in a 1981 Ford Cortina, it was a 1989 Range Rover, The Brinks Mat getaway van was a Ford Transit not a Sherpa, oh and gold bars are not stored in cardboard boxes. If the accuracy is so off, what else is wrong in this show?
Basically correct...... Particularly about not trusting a rat like Noye who was a known grass and psychopathic killer....... Totally greedy, he's immediately looking for ways to take the gold. McAvoy should have had hsi connection shoot Noye....... He fucked it all up including 8 years for himself.....
Valuation of the gold is completely out. I don't know when the documentary was made but the highest price of gold ever registered is about USD 60,000 per kg. At 3,000kgs(narrator says "almost 3,000kgs") that's USD 180 million tops; so significantly less than GBP 150 million.
Yeh well they messed that up by not forcing a fake entry, black was last in so always going to be looked at first.. Silly oversight after 9mths planning tut tut
£26 million (nearly 3 tons of gold) is globally very small sum of money and can't shake much gold markets. Here's the numbers of 2018 gold producers: China 404 tons, Australia 319 tons, Russia 297 tons, USA 222 tons. Whole global gold production: 3503 tons. Reserve: 54000 tons
I can’t see how easily the robbers got into the room where the guards were. You would think that with the amount of gold and money it would be more secure than it was.
They had a guard on the inside , who told them about all the alarms ect, they had alarms and back up alarms, but the robbers knew this. As for the guards they were all soaked in petrol, would you risk going up like a bonfire for minimum wage.
Ok, the same security issue transpired ( 08-08-1963 ) Great train 🚆 robbery in Britain. 2.5 million pounds in a cargo area of train car un guarded. Just postal 📪 workers separating mail opposite caged area.
I thought of the same thing, issue with that is if it becomes common practice and robbers are aware of it, it might turn a nervous situation into a deadly paranoia that the code has been punched instead of the right one. and if the code isnt used during a heist, will the victims of the robbery be accused of aiding the robbers?
Well its essentially just like panic buttons that places such as banks etc have under desk's they are common place and known about by criminals. People who use them can also turn nervous situations into deadly paranoia and they are much more obvious. If the code wasn't used then it would be highly suspicious therefore you have 2 or more codes that need to be entered to gain access and one person would have one code. If any of the codes were the alarm code then it would alert authorities, essentially meaning you would have to have everyone with codes to be 'in on it' reducing the likelihood. Of course there are flaws with this system and it would need refined.
Or if the multiple doors are opened quicker thena set time of say 20 seconds a silent alarm could be tripped. I mean why would you be so eager to get to gold if you were not being forced to?
You're joking right? Only 2 of the 6 thieves' were ever caught (well 3 but 1 of those was acquitted in court) and in today's money (Feb 2020) the value of that gold alone is £130Mil ? 80% of the gold/cash from sales was never recovered. The two that caught caught only got busted because of that grass black. They also made billions more by investing that cash into fuelling and creating the UK ecstasy pandemic in the 80's/90's and billons more from their investment in the massive property growth around the London dockland. A few of the people involved could now afford to buy a small country....... Or do you mean that any amount of money, isn't worth a bit of a headache?
@@Midnightwhiskeymassacre Cheers buddy....... I'm not a thief or a murderer but I always wondered why they just didn't shoot Anthony Black on their way out the door...... it would of left no witnesses/evidence behind..... The 2 Black grassed/ got caught both got 25 years each anyway....... that sentence for theft (and also the Great Train Robbery, where they gave out 30-35 years each too) to me its says..... why leave a witness behind? .... When your getting more time for the robbery, than for a murder, the sentences would run concurrently anyway...... They just told the whole UK criminally world, you might as well kill a witness as you won't receive a harsher punishment for doing so and you will be much less likely to get caught if you so! Crazy mad world, if you think of it - I dread to think about how many innocent witnesses were murdered in other crimes because of this madness!
@@Midnightwhiskeymassacre haha - i'm so glad someone else agrees so I don't appear to be a total psycho !!! - Seriously, isn't it crazy and how people plan robberies for months/years so precisely but don't plan the afterwards or how they will deal with the police - lucky amateurs! hehe
no they melted with 2p copper coins to hide carat of gold that was 24 carat gold- hence, obvious brinks mat- hence palmer shot dead. mcavoy 25yrs and sold his gold.
Man these guy's took a shit ton of gold and then just handed it over to one guy. Damn that's having some serious trust in someone. I would've buried the gold in a spot so good no one would've ever found the gold. I would just let it sit there until I get out of prison. Then still let it sit there til the cops are done watching me, then when the time is ready then I'll go get some gold and cash it in a little at a time.
Yeah they forgot to tell you that each guy was the size of the Hulk. LOL. They must've had some type of process to load all that gold up into a truck or a vehicle with a great rear suspension.
Yeah something their didnt add up. Not to mention that van would never hold all that gold. That's a crap load of weight. Just think 60lb per trip to the van would take 120 trips just to move it to the van.
The fact they used a Sherpa doesn't say to me, these guys are pro's.......... you're joking??!!!!! They're so shit......... utter shite!!!! The sliding driver's + passenger doors, are a plus but it's a very short list........ It would be an alibi, as far as I'm concerned, there's no way I'm on a job with a Sherpa for a getaway.......... Ayrton Senna driving the twat, wouldn't change my mind........... my arse, is right, mate.......
When moving concrete products I zip tied timber above the axles to stop the springs bottoming, I could then load 3.5 metric tons within, it did not handle well but it looked ok. Where there is a will there is a way....
A few years ago when I was good on them but at the end of the day staff were terrorised its not on its sick and disgusting however if it had been a con job and no one at all got hurt or terrorised thats a whole different thing
Everyone pays, ya can’t just leave people to rot in prison, and then expect them to get out and forgive and forget, 16 years is a long time, so right whack to em,... We do the crime and the time and you get the money,that ain’t gonna fly baby...
10:46 A security guard managed to free himself and dial 999 and explains that 6 masked guys with pistols and machine guns just stole three tons of gold worth 26 million pounds. " 999 dispatcher informs them that police will arrive as soon as possible. 10:58 " an Elite Scotland yard squad arrives at the scene after 30 minutes...
The essex murders didn't have anything to do with this gold, think that had more to do with the amount of drug dealers they kept turning over, lot of people think the police did that anyway.
Police probably wouldn't have had the authority or would have been best suited to something like that off, it would have been a professional MI5 hit team if anything.. and maybe taken out not because they were turning drug dealers over but because they were becoming more and more of a threat to the public with their antics...... it's still a mystery.. but i don't see the police force ever doing something like that without authority from above,,and if authority from above was in play then the Police wouldn't have been required.......and most certainly not he best option to carry it out...
I think most people are fascinated by, and secretly respect, a professional thief who steals using his intelligence and cunning, who is elegant, swift and causes no harm. A gentleman, in other words. Once violence and vicious threats come into play, a line has been crossed, and you pray that they get what’s coming to them. Sounds like most of them already have.

Or if the multiple doors are opened quicker thena set time of say 20 seconds a silent alarm could be tripped. I mean why would you be so eager to get to gold if you were not being forced to?
Well it was the fucking 80s FFS. so that technology wasn't about. Hindsight hero you lot eh.
@@DAGATHire Microchips were around far before the 80's
Was anyone else thinking the inside man was scouse as soon as you heard his nickname hahaha
They need to remake the movie fools gold (1992) thats based on this heist, so much more has happened since 92 in this case and many more deaths
That is a good idea
Automatic WEAPONSSS *has a Poundland pistol"
This robbery is better than a Hollywood story.
No way! At 2:10 they sample a soundtrack from Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars
if he's the only guard that knows the code combination, im pretty sure the robbers won't kill him. without him, they can't open the vault
Been there the guards talk ppl into suicide
Cursed gold.
This ain’t private’s of the carrybeean
class job
stealing that gold was more headaches than it's worth
You're joking right? Only 2 of the 6 thieves' were ever caught (well 3 but 1 of those was acquitted in court) and in today's money (Feb 2020) the value of that gold alone is £130Mil ? 80% of the gold/cash from sales was never recovered. The two that caught caught only got busted because of that grass black. They also made billions more by investing that cash into fuelling and creating the UK ecstasy pandemic in the 80's/90's and billons more from their investment in the massive property growth around the London dockland. A few of the people involved could now afford to buy a small country....... Or do you mean that any amount of money, isn't worth a bit of a headache?
@@JayInplay bang on the money there son 😎
@@Midnightwhiskeymassacre Cheers buddy....... I'm not a thief or a murderer but I always wondered why they just didn't shoot Anthony Black on their way out the door...... it would of left no witnesses/evidence behind..... The 2 Black grassed/ got caught both got 25 years each anyway....... that sentence for theft (and also the Great Train Robbery, where they gave out 30-35 years each too) to me its says..... why leave a witness behind? .... When your getting more time for the robbery, than for a murder, the sentences would run concurrently anyway...... They just told the whole UK criminally world, you might as well kill a witness as you won't receive a harsher punishment for doing so and you will be much less likely to get caught if you so! Crazy mad world, if you think of it - I dread to think about how many innocent witnesses were murdered in other crimes because of this madness!
@@JayInplay yep. Exactly. Idiots should have thought of this in the 9mths prep.
@@Midnightwhiskeymassacre haha - i'm so glad someone else agrees so I don't appear to be a total psycho !!! - Seriously, isn't it crazy and how people plan robberies for months/years so precisely but don't plan the afterwards or how they will deal with the police - lucky amateurs! hehe
where did these guys goto school ?
3 tons ??
6800 goldbars of 1 kg is 6.8 tons.
and they said some was 2 kilos..
none of this makes sense.
no they melted with 2p copper coins to hide carat of gold that was 24 carat gold- hence, obvious brinks mat- hence palmer shot dead. mcavoy 25yrs and sold his gold.
Man these guy's took a shit ton of gold and then just handed it over to one guy. Damn that's having some serious trust in someone. I would've buried the gold in a spot so good no one would've ever found the gold. I would just let it sit there until I get out of prison. Then still let it sit there til the cops are done watching me, then when the time is ready then I'll go get some gold and cash it in a little at a time.
For them that enjoyed this there is a film called Fool Gold with Shawn bean worth a watch .
Theres no honour among thieves...unless they come from a Troop 😂
6800 bars, each weighing 1-2kgs.
So that’s anything between 6.8-13.6 tonnes. 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah they forgot to tell you that each guy was the size of the Hulk. LOL. They must've had some type of process to load all that gold up into a truck or a vehicle with a great rear suspension.
Yeah something their didnt add up. Not to mention that van would never hold all that gold. That's a crap load of weight. Just think 60lb per trip to the van would take 120 trips just to move it to the van.
3 ton in a sherpa van my arse
It's easy when you put it all in those cardboard file boxes! ROFLMAO
when i saw that part i was thinking yeah right, that fucker would be dragging ass showering sparks down the road
I was thinking the same....
The fact they used a Sherpa doesn't say to me, these guys are pro's.......... you're joking??!!!!!
They're so shit......... utter shite!!!! The sliding driver's + passenger doors, are a plus but it's a very short list........
It would be an alibi, as far as I'm concerned, there's no way I'm on a job with a Sherpa for a getaway.......... Ayrton Senna driving the twat, wouldn't change my mind........... my arse, is right, mate.......
When moving concrete products I zip tied timber above the axles to stop the springs bottoming, I could then load 3.5 metric tons within, it did not handle well but it looked ok. Where there is a will there is a way....
That little van fitted 3 tons of gold in side it lol 😂. I bet Ford transit love this
Silent alarm the best thing ever invented for cases like this.l
*hint* some of the gold is in houses in Bermondsey area
Now we have to go into a bank wearing a mask! But we que without complaint! How very British! 🤣
This was on tv last night.
The brinks matt insiderr is that the security gaurd who left the door open for the gang or is he just someone whos researched the heist?
only 3 Brits could accidentally steal more gold then anyone ever has
A few years ago when I was good on them but at the end of the day staff were terrorised its not on its sick and disgusting however if it had been a con job and no one at all got hurt or terrorised thats a whole different thing
They had semi-automatic weapons not automatic. Big difference.
Man even I could piece together a pretty good idea of where the remaining money or gold is …I just will never have the means to go get it …
There is always an insider in these type of crimes. Something for the flying squad to remember!
Thanks for letting them know.
Everyone pays, ya can’t just leave people to rot in prison, and then expect them to get out and forgive and forget, 16 years is a long time,
so right whack to em,...
We do the crime and the time and you get the money,that ain’t gonna fly baby...
25:34 - 2nd picture from the right-side is Tony Soprano!
The barclays bank. They used in Bedminster. Was a tiny little sub branch .client confidentiality I suppose .
10:46 A security guard managed to free himself and dial 999 and explains that 6 masked guys with pistols and machine guns just stole three tons of gold worth 26 million pounds. " 999 dispatcher informs them that police will arrive as soon as possible. 10:58 " an Elite Scotland yard squad arrives at the scene after 30 minutes...
Now days if the caller said he had just been subjected to vague verbal racism the police would have been there in minutes.
wikipedia describes it differently
It seems the level of security at this building was totally inappropriate.
I noticed the aerial shot at 2.20 is of the Scotswood area of Newcastle Upon Tyne......
22:00 kenneth nose is like a bent spoon as it that detectives right on one side loll
😂 hilarious that this story is actually how criminals "accidentally" stole half a billion in gold.
True 😂
Not so accidentally as you might think wink wink
How would they carry 3 ton of gold in the back of a sherpa van 🤔
Very good robery movie
The essex murders didn't have anything to do with this gold, think that had more to do with the amount of drug dealers they kept turning over, lot of people think the police did that anyway.
Police probably wouldn't have had the authority or would have been best suited to something like that off, it would have been a professional MI5 hit team if anything.. and maybe taken out not because they were turning drug dealers over but because they were becoming more and more of a threat to the public with their antics...... it's still a mystery.. but i don't see the police force ever doing something like that without authority from above,,and if authority from above was in play then the Police wouldn't have been required.......and most certainly not he best option to carry it out...
Wasnt there of a 'mad Mickey' supposed to be involved in the Essex murders Or at least mentioned....
@@Gary-pw3vq Yeah Micky Bowman , who was asked to source a machine gun by Tate & Tucker
6 June 2019, Kenny Noye was released from prison.
good documentaryb
Good video
Police got there within half an hour ? Lol 😂
When seconds count, the police will be there in minutes. Thank goodness for America's 2ed amendment.
So what it's not like their drinking a beer in public or anything.
@jvon Scotland Yard are just a division of the police based in London???
@jvon ååå⁰
I think most people are fascinated by, and secretly respect, a professional thief who steals using his intelligence and cunning, who is elegant, swift and causes no harm. A gentleman, in other words. Once violence and vicious threats come into play, a line has been crossed, and you pray that they get what’s coming to them. Sounds like most of them already have.
That’s a fuckin great comment.
Surprised if the insurance wasn't invalidated if the gold was just left lying around in boxes OUTSIDE the vault.
It was within the vault but outside the three internal safes
If a cop can't even defend themselves against one man with a knife, you're not training your cops properly.
Nasty men. Robbery is one thing, murder is quite another.
How can they be charged with 'conspiracy to steal the gold bullion' when they had no idea it was there until they failed to access the safes?
Dan Shields 😂😂😂😂😂 u smart
good question
Very true my friend . Escape by helicopter was not unusual from the nick . For criminals higher up the chain .
If they don’t have enough evidence to charge you for the robbery they arrest you conspiracy
Shakeel Ali not true, conspiracy to commit robbery is higher charge than robbery alone. Any conspiracy charge will carry a longer sentence.
Masterminded by Mad Mickey Mackleroy and his mates! Lol!
nice doc
6 yrs. What a joke.
