New Scotland Yard Files is a thrilling true crime series hosted by former detective Peter Bleksley. The show sheds light on some of the most notorious criminal cases in the history of London's Metropolitan Police Service, and shares never-before-told stories of how these criminals were caught and brought to justice.

Each episode focuses on a different case, including murders, robberies, and other serious crimes. Bleksley draws from his years of experience as a detective to provide a unique perspective on the cases and the investigative techniques used to solve them.

The show features interviews with current and former police officers who worked on the cases, as well as family members of the victims and other individuals involved in the investigations. Bleksley also visits key locations related to each case, including crime scenes and police stations, to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how the investigations unfolded.

The investigation into the killings was one of the largest in the history of the Metropolitan Police, and involved a team of over 70 detectives. Bleksley speaks with one of the detectives who worked on the case, as well as a woman who narrowly escaped becoming one of the killer's victims.

Another episode focuses on a massive diamond heist that took place in the heart of London's diamond district. The thieves made off with over £20 million worth of diamonds, and the investigation into the robbery involved over 200 police officers. Bleksley speaks with a former detective who worked on the case, as well as a diamond dealer who lost millions in the robbery.

Throughout the series, Bleksley provides insight into the challenges of working on these high-profile cases, including the pressure to solve them quickly and the emotional toll that they can take on investigators. He also discusses the impact of technology on police work and how advances in forensic science have helped solve some of the most complex cases.

Ultimately, New Scotland Yard Files is a fascinating look at the world of criminal investigation, providing viewers with a new understanding of how detectives work to solve some of the most difficult cases in the history of London's Metropolitan Police.
