Stephen Gillen says he was the leader of a specialized four-person burglary gang carrying out robberies in the UK during the late ā€™80s and early ā€™90s. The gang targeted high-value homes and commercial properties, such as jewelry stores and designer-brand warehouses.

Gillen speaks to Insider about his experience in breaking into properties, the stolen-goods market, and home-security systems. Home invasions are on the rise globally. Recent high-profile examples include the robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris and of the UK footballer Raheem Sterling during the 2022 World Cup.

Gillen claims he spent a total of 20 years in prison and was released in 2006. Nowadays, he is the CEO of the media-production agency Roar Media Creative Studio.

What made me realize just how false my safety is is when I broke into my own house. I had locked myself out on the way to my car. I climbed up and shimmied open a second story window and no one noticed! In broad daylight! Security is an illusion.

If you use intimidation or violence you're not a burglar - that's robbery. Here in the UK you don't get 17 years without using serious violence, this guy has obviously caused major trauma to his victims and if he's going to provide this kind of content he should have the decency to own up to the extent of that and not use euphemisms to minimise it. Some expression of remorse which went beyond the effect it had on his own life might also be appropriate. Whilst these videos are interesting they often walk a problematic line of glamorising or justifying the worst possible conduct and in this case I feel this one gets it wrong.

This guy knows the exact value of the goods he stole. He either stole nowhere near $5 million and is using the police's estimate to make his crime look bigger, or he stole way more than $5 million and doesn't want the police to know they haven't figured out the full extent of his crimes.

This guy clearly has no idea of the emotional trauma that burglary causes. Regardless of people being physically unhurt, the emotional trauma caused is indescribable, it never leaves you. Ever. It leaves you feeling violated, scared and unsafe in your own home, that you've worked hard for. The one place you should feel safe. Their one moment of selfishness makes you want to move away from the area, and your home where you've invested so much emotionally, and built your entire life. It makes you panic everywhere you go. Which in turn ruins other life experiences because you can't relax, or buy something nice, for fear of having it stolen. I've been burgled, and can tell you it affects you beyond belief, and for a LONG time after the event. It ruins the place you once called home. And burglars do this repeatedly, to many, many people. I despise burglars, and I despise this guy more so because he has no remorse. Sitting there in a designer tshirt.

It's quite obvious he doesn't realize or care the amount of people he's traumatized and frightened from living in their homes I usually like these videos but this guy tics me off as cynical and without regrets, whole vibe was off

"Our intent is not to hurt anyone but just to dominate." YOU LIED & YOU'RE CLUELESS. You're already HURTING someone by robbing them at gunpoint so your statement makes no sense. Any of this home invasions could've EASILY turned to a murder scene if someone is spooked, tries to run away, or fights back.

I usually like these, but this guy just seemed like he was minimizing his actions. Insider usually does good, so Iā€™m super disappointed

You canā€™t say that your intentions arenā€™t to hurt anyone when you bring weapons ā€œcommanding the situationā€ with the threat of violence is a clear intention to hurt someone

Mate, this is smashing. I got a ton of helpful perspective on how I could be impacted by criminals. I know it's wildly different in UK than in the US, but this is still really helpful. I'm so glad to hear that you've had so much success out of legitimate work and diligent effort. Well done, old man!

Not gonna say I've never stole anything but I can't stand behind going into someone's home. Robbing a bank I understand ain't any better but they have insurance and proper Robbery guidelines to prevent someone from getting injured. (Not saying it doesnf happen) but going into a random person's house is just like what can you expect but someone definitely getting hurt

These gangs will stop at nothing to always get what they want. They're certainly keen on getting what they want at all times.

When they brought up Charles Bronson I thought this was going in a whole different direction.
