LONDON — (CNN) The biggest burglary in English legal history — that’s what prosecutors called the Hatton Garden raid, where more than $20 million worth of jewelry and valuables were stolen from a vault in London’s jewelry quarter in April last year.
On Thursday, three men were convicted of involvement, joining four others who pleaded guilty in September.
Many of the criminals were well past retirement age.
Carl Wood, 58, and William “Billy” Lincoln, 60, were found guilty of conspiracy to burgle and to transfer criminal property. Hugh Doyle, 48, was found guilty of the latter charge
Prosecutors said the four men who pleaded guilty in September were the ringleaders and “a close-knit group of experienced criminals.”
They are John Kenneth Collins, 75; Daniel Jones, 60; Terrence Perkins, 67; and Brian Reader, 76.
Jon Harbinson, Lincoln’s nephew, was found not guilty on Thursday.
