In 2011, regional museums and auction houses across Britain are hit by a bizarre crime spree. Despite holding millions of pounds worth of precious artefacts, only one item has been targeted during each robbery: rhino horn. As this strange crime wave sweeps through Europe and beyond, rhino numbers are shrinking as their horns become more valuable than gold in the dark, illegal, world of animal poaching and trafficking. This documentary unpicks the story behind why the Rhino is facing extinction and the race to catch the people responsible - before it’s too late.
The Great Rhino Robbery is produced by the BBC Studios Documentary Unit in association with Sky Studios; read on to find out more about how the Sky Post team brought the production to our screens.

I just wanted to thank you for such incredible work from Sky Post and for being stoical and resilient in the face of an avalanche of archive and last-minute changes over these few weeks – I know it cannot have been easy for you and I’m so grateful for all of the help, patience and can-do attitude that you have contributed. Many, many thanks indeed. You have a truly excellent team who have been a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish.
