Hole drilled by burglars at Hatton Garden revealed

[jeff of pa]

Images of the hole drilled by thieves into the vault at a Hatton Garden safe deposit company have been released by the Met Police.



Seventy-two safe deposit boxes were opened in a raid at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd in central London over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
In the vault, discarded safe deposit boxes, power tools including an angle grinder and concrete drills, and crowbars can be seen.
No arrests have been made.
The image shows the hole made using a heavy duty drill, a Hilti DD350.
It measured 50cm (20in) deep, 25cm (10in) high, 45cm (18in) wide and sits 89cm (35in) above the floor.
Police have also released a graphic showing the break-in.

The Met are currently reviewing how they responded to the raid after it emerged an intruder alarm had gone off at the scene of the crime but it decided a response was not required.

Wow, did anyone see the size of the vault door? That thing was huge...and next to it, a hole in the wall. Haha, why didn't the bank just leave the door open? Would have been less property damage, too.

Watch the movie "The Bank Job" and it is exactly the same as what happened to this bank. Except the movie was made years before.

Now all future vault burglars know to buy a Hilti DD350.

I guess crime doesn't pay. All we as treasure hunters can hope for is that the thieves buried or dropped some of the loot as they fled the scene (preferably in some area of woods or a field).
