The Hatton Garden raid was meticulous in its planning, dazzling
in its complexity – yet still the burglars were caught.
I disagree with this premise. The Hatton Garden heist only made it as far
as it did because of a number of failings outside of the gangs control, that they didn't expect. The heist was doomed to fail from the start and only made it as far as it did because of a lot of good fortune on the gangs behalf.
