This Is A Robbery delves into the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, during which two thieves dressed as Boston police officers stole art worth millions from the museum. We learn that the robbers bound and gagged two security guards, before proceeding to loot the museum over an 81-minute period. The four-part true crime series takes its name from something one of the thieves reportedly said before taking the guards down to the basement, where they were discovered (by actual police officers) the next morning. The crime remains unsolved.

In March 1990, two men pulled off an art heist worth $500 million at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The story of the theft and the investigation around it are the focus of a new Netflix true crime documentary titled
This Is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist.
The series, which is broken down in
four parts, will premiere on the streaming platform on April 7.
Thirty years on, the crime remains unsolved. What is known, however, is how the works of art were stolen. In the early hours of March 18, 1990, the pair of thieves were able to enter the museum by dressing up as police officers and pretending to respond to a disturbance call inside. The men then tied up the guards and proceeded to steal 13 artworks from the museum over the next hour.
