About this listen

The story of the biggest and most audacious robbery in history, the Millennium Dome diamond raid.

"Sports cars, Jaguars, sheep skins coats, sawn off shotguns, knuckle dusters and a cuppa o' Rosy Lee with my old mum; my locker was filled with the things that I chose to put in it."

Lee Wenham was born to be an arch criminal. With his sticky fingers firmly placed in many illicit pies, Wenham, who comes from a notorious Gypsy family, was set for a life of crime.

Now, in his 'no holds barred' memoir Lee details the hair-raising and often hilarious tales of his life of crime and how he became an integral part of the ill-fated Millennium Dome Diamond Heist as he and his gang attempted to steal jewellery worth a huge £350 million.

The tale, involving digger ram-raids, speedboat escapes and the £200 million Millennium Star diamond, is soon to be made into a new Netflix docudrama by master auteur, Guy Ritchie, set for release in Spring 2025.

Well I came across Lee Wenham on YouTube so I was excited to hear that a book was out about his life. I listened to this audiobook every day going to work and back home. It's probably one of the most enjoyable life stories I've listened to in a very long time. It's told in a broad cockney accent that lends weight to the book. Lee is very open about his life from early years to prison life. You could say he's lived two lives given the amount he's packed into his own. It's very funny in parts and Lee is very matter of fact about everything. I'm glad he's living a gorger life these days, yes it's boring but it keeps you out of trouble most of the time.

A riveting story of a unique life
