London Heathrow Airport, 11 March 2004, 11.35am

On this drizzly March morning, no other travellers took much notice of the three casually dressed Eastern Europeans who had flown economy, landed at Heathrow airport and cabbed it to an upmarket five-star hotel in the West End. They booked into three separate penthouse suites and, after unpacking, met in the bar on the first floor of the hotel to enjoy a lunchtime refresher, celebrate their arrival in London with vintage champagne and toast their impending success at the roulette tables of some unsuspecting casino in London. The following day, they started an orgy of spending in the designer boutiques in the West End, the two boys blitzing Armani, Versace and Valentino, while the girl peeled off thousands at the Knightsbridge branches of Karen Millen and Joseph.

That evening, they dined at San Lorenzo, and again clinked champagne glasses to their anticipated success. Poring over a listing of all the major London casinos at dinner, they decided that the Ritz Casino was to be their target and fine-tuned the timing of the plot: they were going to go to work there in four days’ time. So, after a few more days of shopping, eating in the finest restaurants and pampering themselves at the best hairdressers and beauty salons, they were ready for action. The coup was about to commence.
