案發經過
盜竊案發生在復活節期間一連四日銀行假日,期間附近不少商店都休息不營業(當中一些店舖是與珠寶業有關)[7]。他們眾人在4月2日試圖進入保險庫盜竊,但空手而回,但此時已啟動警報通知倫敦警察廳有可能的闖入。4月4日,他們再接再勵,這次他們成功得手。4月7日,蘇格蘭場公佈哈頓花園保險庫發生盜竊案[8]。保險庫外部沒有明顯強闖痕跡[9],據報導,賊人透過升降機槽進入保險庫[10],然後在保險庫的外牆,用喜利得DD350工業用鑽機鑽了一個50厘米寬的洞口[2][11]。
警方在4月7日公佈事件,稱據閉路電視監視,這行動早在4月2日展開(每日镜报比警方更早公佈片段)[8][12]。報紙給六名犯人給上綽號,分別是「金髮先生、健壯先生、蒙面先生、紳士先生、高個子和老人」[13][14]。4月22日,警方發佈案發現場照片,顯示犯人如何用鑽機進入保險庫[15]。
由於這案件太嚴重,於是交給倫敦警察廳專業、有組織和經濟犯罪處(Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command)的「追捕队」(Flying Squad)接手調查[16]。
逮捕及判刑
2015年5月19日,76歲的布萊恩·里德被捕[18][19]。11月,卡尔·伍德(Carl Wood)、威廉·林肯(William Lincoln)、乔恩·哈比森(Jon Harbinson)和休·道伊尔(Hugh Doyle)被捕,他們被控共同盜竊及串謀隱瞞,轉移或掩飾非法財產。這盜竊案被稱為英國法律史上最大宗的盜竊案[20]。2018年3月28日,迈克尔·锡德(Michael Seed)在倫敦家中被捕,被控串謀盜竊及串謀隱瞞或掩飾非法財產[21][22]。
2016年3月9日在伍尔维奇皇室法院,约翰·柯林斯(John Collins)、丹尼爾·琼斯(Daniel Jones)和特里·珀金斯( Terry Perkins)三人承認串謀盜竊串,三人均判七有監禁。
卡尔·伍德和威廉·林肯的共同盜竊及串謀隱瞞,轉移或掩飾非法財產罪名成立,兩人分別判處六年及七年監禁。休·道伊尔的串謀隱瞞,轉移或掩飾非法財產罪名成立,判處21個月監禁,緩刑兩年[23]。至於據稱是主腦的布萊恩·里德,則在2016年3月21日判處6年3個月監禁[5]。乔恩·哈比森則罪名不成立,當庭釋放[6]。
2018年1月,伍尔维奇皇室法院的沒收判決勒令约翰·柯林斯、丹尼爾·琼斯、特里·珀金斯和布萊恩·里德必需交出2,750萬鎊的犯罪所得財產,不然就要面臨另外七年監禁[24]。珀金斯在該判決發出一星期後離世[25]。8月14日,丹尼爾·琼斯因為未能歸還6,599,021鎊而追加額外6年287年監禁[26]。2019年8月1日,柯林斯因為未能執行還款而被追加額外2,309天監禁[27][28]。而案件主腦布萊恩·里德則在2023年9月離世[29]。
2019年3月15日,迈克尔·锡德的兩項罪名串謀盜竊及串謀隱瞞或掩飾非法財產成立,被判10年有期徒刑,其中八年是前項控罪,兩年是後者,兩項判刑同時執行[30]。2020年10月1日,執導稱他被勒令歸還600萬鎊,或面臨另外七年監禁[31][32]。
