The Unbelievable Antwerp 100 Million Diamond Heist
The Antwerp Diamond Heist is a notorious and audacious crime that took place in February 2003. Considered one of the largest diamond thefts in history, the heist targeted the Antwerp Diamond Center, located in the heart of the Belgian diamond district.
The thieves meticulously planned the operation, gaining access to the highly secure vault by disabling the building's alarm system. Over a weekend, they managed to evade the vault's numerous security measures and made off with an estimated $100 million worth of diamonds, gold, and other precious gems.
