Soon after, strange thefts and mechanical breakdowns begin to occur around the town.

Wallace was baffled but the rest of the world was not able to make out the truth. It was Gromit who was the only person who figured out the truth.
As the plot unfolds, it was Gromit who learned the truth behind McGraw’s escape. McGraw had equipped Norbot to take revenge by submerging the world in chaos. McGraw’s cunning scheme involved robotic gnomes. Fending off the chaos, the gnomes would help McGraw pull off the biggest heist of the century: the Blue Diamond, a gem of unparalleled value, and a remnant of The Wrong Trousers saga.
