Hi — we’re uncovering a high-carat crime | | |
|
|
Take a trip back to the 1980s into a caper of grand proportions. With a heist straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, $50 million worth of pink Argyle diamonds disappeared from a remote West Australian mine. How the crooks successfully pulled off one of Australia’s largest diamond thefts was a mystery — until now.
In a story that travels from the far reaches of the Kimberley to the most exclusive European jewellery stores, EXPANSE: Pink Diamond Heist is on the case. Meet former investigators, jewellery experts, and even those close to these larger-than-life heisters as we uncover who did the crime, but escaped doing the time.
Hear episode one of this five-part investigation now on ABC listen . Join host Sinead Mangan as she tracks down the thirty-year-old tale of how the diamonds were smuggled out of Australia, and why those very same gemstones are back in circulation today.
