I've not seen the film. I don't if the film was based on that previous robbery of a Lloyds bank in 1971 mentioned in the book on one of the Hatton Garden thiefs:

The claim, which is being treated seriously by police

I assume she's been able to support the loss with evidence rather than just taking a long shot at a claim for £7 million.

The woman has claimed one of her safety deposit boxes had been stolen and she only realised it was missing after the trial of the gang who carried out the raid.

Must have been a very large box.

I doubt 7m in gold jewellery would take up much space.

I'll ask the ex.

Just had a gander at the Hatton website and it would be possible in one of their large boxes.

Are the larger boxes accessible with a forklift? That's quarter of a tonne of gold.

Hatton Garden jewellery raider Terry Perkins dies.

Wonder where the Hatton Garden jewellers store their stuff now (no I’m not planning a heist)?

Given that most high street banks have got rid of their locker service (think it’s only metro bank that offer it now) it must be a pain in the arse for those who need to use such facilities.

[Laurel Green]

I hear sales in spades and shovels are going through the roof.

Or has he..................

"Basil" had £143k of jewellery in his bedroom/workshop!

All but 82 items found in his room have been identified as having been in safety deposit boxes that were raided.

Nice detailed description of some of the forensic work that the police have been doing too.

edit: originally the DM story said £143m, but they seem to have changed it now to £143k.

Police have obviously brushed up on their forensic work.
