The plumber and secondhand car salesmen being quizzed over Hatton Garden gem heist after 200 police officers arrest 'Dad's Army' gang of nine men - including three pensioners
Two men in their seventies, five more in their fifties and sixties, and two in their forties were held in simultaneous raids by 200 officers - some of them armed - at 12 addresses across Kent and London at 10.30am yesterday. Boiler engineer Hugh Doyle, left, described by neighbours as 'always willing to
lend a hand', was arrested at a £500,000 semi-detached home in Enfield, north London, at 10.30am yesterday. Simultaneously more than 25 officers stormed the £850,000 Dartford home of second hand car dealer Brian Reader, 76, top right, and his son Paul, 50, bottom right with his mother in 1985, and took them away for questioning. The eldest person arrested is Reader senior and the youngest is a 43-year-old from north London and the arrested men are all described as 'white British'. Police are said to be investigating whether the men - branded a 'Dad's Army' because of their ages - allegedly carried out the heist to fund their retirement.
