It's August 2010, early in the morning. One minute passed, too, to be exact. An alarm has been

triggered at Droughton Home Palace in Sweden. This is a Swedish royal residence and they have this

little Chinese museum on the grounds. The alarms going off, but the police are busy elsewhere.

In the city, thieves light cars on fire, just distract the police and pull their resources

away. It's a distraction that won't last long. The thieves only have a few minutes to complete

their mission. As the police are responding to these power fires, the thieves break in.

And very cunningly steal exactly what they're looking for.

These are some smooth criminals. Everything has been planned meticulously, from the burning of

the cars to the heist. It seems like they're working from a sort of shopping list, because there are

other more valuable pieces that they leave behind. Guards arrive at the royal residence within six

minutes of the alarm being triggered. But the thieves are already gone and there's no sign of them.

They've already made their escape. They race down to the water on low heads.

You're probably thinking what I'm thinking. That this is a plot from like a new ocean,

1340. I can't keep up with how many oceans there are. But I'm about to propose to you is both

highly lucrative and highly dangerous. But this is all real. The police are in high pursuit.

Their sniffer dogs have picked up the scent of the robbers and tracked them to the water's edge.

But it's too late. All that's left is a single moped sinking in the water.

And then it happened again and again and again. Museums in Norway, England and France were hit

next. It was really stunning what was happening and in such quick succession.

In this week's episode, we're finding out about a series of heights that shine a light on one of

the biggest cheats in history.
