heists
Elaborate theft operations
Heists is the plural of heist—a robbery or burglary, typically one that's elaborately planned: a string of bank heists, jewel heists.
The word carries a slightly glamorous connotation, evoking skilled criminals and clever schemes rather than crude theft.
Heist films and heist novels are genres built around such capers.
