The Diamond Geezer

The story of the biggest and most audacious robbery in history, the Millenium Dome diamond raid.

"Sports cars, Jaguars, sheep skins coats, sawn off shotguns, knuckle dusters and a cuppa o' Rosy Lee with my old mum; my locker was filled with the things that I chose to put in it."

Lee Wenham was born to be an arch criminal. With his sticky fingers firmly placed in many illicit pies, Wenham, who comes from a notorious Gypsy family, was set for a life of crime.

Now the lead subject in a new Netflix docudrama by master auteur, Guy Ritchie, Lee takes centre stage and, with Ritchie's expert hand, leads the viewer step by step from the meticulous planning through to the execution of the ill-fated heist in November 2000.

Due for broadcast in Spring 2025, the film tells his story of the Millenium Dome Diamond Heist. Now, in his 'no hold barred' memoir that serves as an accompaniment to the film, Lee details his hair raising and often hilarious tales of his life of crime and how he was tracked down by Guy Ritchie's and became their 'go to man' in piecing the jigsaw together.
