Biggest Jewel Heist in History -Avery Yoss 4th period
Four men went on trial on monday for what seems to be the biggest jewel heist in history. The men stole 21.2 million dollars worth of jewels and money from the safe. These thieves struck the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit . The Men are denying all of the charges. The burglary had been planned for almost three years before it actually happened. The thieves broke into 73 deposit boxes.
This is a crazy incident. Especially since the thieves had been planning for the occasion for three years. 21.2 million dollars is a lot of money and I hope it all gets repayed to those who were stolen from.

It's horrible how greedy people have gotten to be these days. Although money has constantly been the main focus of a "typical American", stealing so much from so many people is not the way to make a living for yourself.
