ULTIMATE GIRL GANG: BRITAIN'S BIGGEST SHOPLIFTING NETWORK

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the shadowy underworld of British crime, focusing on a particularly audacious 1990 Securicor van robbery. While the incident itself is gripping, the narrative expands to encompass the legacy of London's crime families, drawing a fascinating parallel to the notorious Krays. The program also sheds light on a remarkable historical precedent: the 1920s 'Queen' Alice Diamond and her formidable all-female shoplifting network, once the largest in Britain. Through its exploration of these disparate yet interconnected criminal enterprises, the series, hosted by Gary and Martin Kemp, offers a compelling look at the evolution of organized crime in Britain, from its historical roots to the contemporary underworld.
