The Crown Court at Woolwich today (30.01.18) made confiscation orders against the conspirators involved in the notorious burglary of Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd over Easter Weekend 2015.
John Kenneth Collins, Terence Perkins, Daniel Jones and Brian Reader were ordered to pay sums varying from £6.5 to 8 million reflecting what the court deemed to be their proceeds from the £13.7 million of jewellery, cash, bullion and other items stolen from the basement vault, and given sentences in default of payment of 7 years and above.
Philip Evans QC and Philip Stott conducted the complex proceedings on behalf of the CPS, as they did at trial.
