Introducing... The Golden Toilet Heist
Episode description
A story of art, mystery and a solid gold, fully plumbed in toilet stolen from a British palace.
With behind-the-scenes access at Blenheim Palace, we explore the inside story of the heist and its fallout.
Installed as part of an art exhibition, the £5 million toilet was notorious prior to its theft. Those behind the burglary remained a mystery for years. In 2025, with reporting restrictions lifted, we finally reveal their identities and the criminal past that led them to the toilet.
It's a tale of art and wealth but also security failures, ruthless criminals and missing millions.
