Six people were arrested, including four in the Money zone vault, and two by the River Thames, where the robbers had a powerboat. *... waiting to speed them from the scene. In scenes reminiscent of the James Bond film The World is Not Enough, the raiders used a bulldozer to break into the Dome. Had it been successful, it would have been the world's largest ever robbery. * 08/11/2001: Police foiled the "robbery" of the jewels when they caught raiders red handed as they smashed their way in using a mechanical digger, an Old Bailey court heard, at the opening of the trial of six men accused of plotting to rob the De Beers Millennium Diamond Exhibition with others unknown.
