Blood Gold: The Brink's-Mat Heist and the Deadly Trail It Left Behind Blood Gold is usually thought of as Britain's most audacious robbery, where, as the "Crime of the Century," six masked men stormed a Heathrow warehouse expecting a few thousand pounds but walked away with 26 million in gold bullion. But while this single morning was a significant part of the story, it was also much more. It was a catalyst that unleashed forty years of murder, corruption, and betrayal that reached into Britain's highest circles and still claims lives today. Later, the stolen gold was melted down and laundered through luxury homes, crooked cops, and silent bankers, ultimately finding its way into Britain's legitimate gold market-your wedding ring might contain traces of this blood-soaked fortune.
