The Diamond Thieves is the wacky, true story of a gang of robbers, and the agent who facilitated teamwork between the FBI and local police to bring justice. In December 2009 a man stole thousands of dollars in diamonds from a jewelry store. The cunning thieves behind the robbery were only starting a cross-country jewel heist that grew bolder with each robbery. Brazen, the men showed off cash, cars, motorcycles, clothes, and travels on social media.Special Agent Ronnie Walker joined the hunt when the FBI was called to track the criminals across state lines. FBI agents and police detectives from around the country worked tirelessly to pinpoint the gang's hideout. Before their arrest in May 2011, the thieves had robbed twenty-seven stores, stealing over 3 million dollars in diamonds.
