4 guilty in London's Hatton Garden jewelry heist
By Adrianna Martinez
A large amount of gems and cash were stolen from a safe deposit company in Hatton Garden. Authorities haven't announced the exact amount that was taken but British media speculate an estimated $300 million was taken from the vault. The thieves were able to get to the basement vault with the elevator shaft and began to drill a hole through the 6 foot wall. The thieves are John Collins,Daniel Jones, Terence Perkins and Brian Reader.Authorities are also investigating why the police did not respond when they were alerted of a burglar alarm that went off at the location of the crime.This is a very alarming and frightening incident, because if these men were so devoted to drill through a 6 foot wall to obtain valuable jewels and cash who knows what else they could have done. It is also alarming that the police did not go investigate even when they were aware a burglar alarm went off.
