In the UK, a verdict was issued to the "old robbers" who made Easter robbery in Hutton-Garden

The royal court of Wulvich found the guilty of several accomplices in the resonant Easter robbery of the London depository of the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit, which became one of the largest such crimes in the country's criminal history. The attackers managed to take possession of jewelry worth 14 million pounds.

The indictment of the elderly British-58-year-old Karl Voodoo, 60-year-old William Lincoln and 48-year-old Hugh Doyle, was issued, writes The Huffington Post . And Lincoln's nephew John Harbinson is justified by the court and was released after eight months of imprisonment.

Earlier, in September 2015, four more people admitted to the organization of crimes: 76-year-old Brian Reader, 75-year-old John Collins, 60-year-old Daniel Jones and 67-year-old Terry Perkins.

It is assumed that Voodoo and Lincoln sentences will be issued on March 7, RIA Novosti reports.

In the criminal case, another person nicknamed Basil appears. It is only known about him that he is a programmer and was able to turn off the alarm in the depository. Basil was also the first to get into the building and let the accomplices through the fire entrance. As a reward for his work, "Computer Genius" received 180 thousand pounds.

Only Brian Rider knew the real name of Basil. It is assumed that Basil is involved in a series of robberies committed over the past 20 years. The police intend to pay a reward of 20 thousand pounds for any information about him, writes The Daily Mirror .

Recall that the daring robbery was committed in early April 2015 in the Hatton-Garden jewelry quarter, which was empty for the time of the holidays. The gang of robbers climbed into the depository of Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd. As the investigators found out, the criminals entered the building on the night of April 3, and finally left it on Sunday evening on April 5. In England, then there were long weekends associated with Easter celebrations, so robbers could act without unnecessary haste.

At first, the attackers went to the second floor and turned off the general elevator in the building. Then, through the elevator shaft, they went down to the basement and drilled a hole in the storage wall. To do this, they used a powerful installation of the Hilti DD350 diamond drilling. Its cost exceeds four thousand euros.

To learn how to handle the drill installation, the attackers watched the corresponding video on the Yououtube portal, writes The Daily Mail . When drilling, the device weighing 35 kilograms is so warmed up so much that it needs constant water cooling.

As a result, the robbers managed to penetrate the storage and empty 73 out of 999 cells.

It is still not clear why the criminals settled on this. Initially, it was assumed that the contents of 300 cells were stolen, the cost of which reached 300 million dollars. But then the damage from the theft was reduced.

At the crime scene, detectives collected about 400 material evidence, including biological materials with DNA samples, as well as fingerprints.

The police believe that the robbery turned out to be successful due to unprofessional actions of the guard, who was supposed to react to the alarm that worked in the building. An employee of the Security Service arrived at the entrance to the depository on April 3, but did not see a hacking and did not examine the interior, as well as call the police. Most likely, at that moment the criminals were already in the building.

On the contrary, the actions of police investigators in Scotland Yard are considered exemplary. “They worked hard and purposefully. The last six to seven weeks they literally spent the night at work, demonstrating the best qualities of Scotland Yard detectives,” said Peter Spindler, head of the London police.

However, as previously reported, and detectives allowed a mistake. They "missed" one of the videos on which the suspects are present. The record in good quality was eventually discovered by an employee of a certain enterprise, which is located 15 meters from the robbed storage.

Part of the abducted values ​​of the police was found in the process of investigation. For example, Daniel Jones hid his “share” in the recesses under the tombstones of his relatives in the cemetery.

We add that the playing role in organizing the robbery Brian Rieder was associated with the most famous British gangsters in the 1980s. Once he was even tried for the murder of a policeman, but it was not possible to prove the guilt of Rider, writes The Eventing Standard .
