8 in court over London diamond district heist
(MENAFN- Arab News) LONDON: Eight men charged in connection with an audacious jewellery heist in London's diamond quarter appeared in court for the first time Thursday as prosecutors said the scale of the losses was over 10 million (14 million euros $16 million).
Thieves broke into the vault at a safety deposit center in Hatton Garden in April where many shopkeepers had left their stock over the Easter holiday weekend forcing open 73 secure boxes.
Terry Perkins 67 Daniel Jones 58 Hugh Doyle 48 William Lincoln 59 John Collins 74 Brian Reader 76 Paul Reader 50 and Carl Wood 58 appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with conspiracy to burgle between April 1 and May 19.
The mostly grey-haired men listened to proceedings with their arms folded speaking only to give their names dates of birth and addresses. They face another legal hearing on June 4.
Meanwhile another man aged 42 was arrested in Essex east of London on suspicion of conspiracy to burgle while another man arrested on Tuesday was bailed.
While it is not known exactly when the raid took place over the holiday weekend Scotland Yard has apologized after failing to follow up a call from a security company about an intruder alert at the safety deposit center on the Friday night.
