From plotting in a pub to jumping down lift shafts and hiding loot in a cemetery: Minute by minute, how the audacious (and somewhat Seventies-style) £24million Hatton Garden raid unfolded
From meeting in a pub to plot to a failed first attempt, jumping down lift shafts, drilling through walls and hiding loot in a cemetery, here's our blow-by-blow account of how the Hatton Garden burglary unfolded. It all began in early 2015 as the ringleaders of the plot - John 'Kenny' Collins, 75, Daniel Jones, 60, Terry Perkins, 67, and Brian 'The Guv'nor' Reader, 76 - fine-tuned their plans, which have been several years in the making. Discreet meetings took place on Friday evenings over a beer in a quiet corner of The Castle, a pub on Pentonville Road in Islington, North London, not far from the Hatton Garden jewellery district. Gang member Carl Wood, 58, was kept in the loop by phone on a need-to-know basis.
