Cast and crew of The Heist reunited for special screening at The Alnwick Garden

Searcys at The Alnwick Garden hosted a private showing of the programme in The Pavilion.

Champagne corks popped as the ‘thieves’ from Alnwick and the surrounding villages watched the show for the first time, although they are remaining tight lipped as the series unfolds.

The second season of The Heist saw nine people team up to plan and execute a raid on the fictitious ‘Bank of Northumbria’ on Fenkle Street in Alnwick.

As the series unfolds, we see how each thief hides their share of £1million from a crack team of detectives, who set up a police station in the town’s former high school on Bailiffgate.

The Heist: Million Pound Bank Job can be viewed on Sky One and NOW TV. All episodes are now available on demand.
