A good heist is a mainstay of the feature film industry, but how does a real life crime caper live up to the Hollywood glitz?

A good heist is a mainstay of the feature film industry, but how does a real life crime caper live up to the Hollywood glitz? 

This programme challenges real life Ocean's 11 to steal a painting, a race horse and a sports car right in front of our hidden cameras – right under the noses of the high tech security teams.

The gang consists of 5 former criminals - a reformed gangster, an ex-computer hacker, a penitent jewellery thief, a retired extortionist and a reformed armed robber.

In each case the 'heist' is done with the co- operation of the owners but their security teams have absolutely no idea what the gang are up to.
