Hatton Garden 'raiders spent three years planning the £42m raid and researched online how to smash into the concrete vault'

Carl Wood, William Lincoln, John Harbinson, and Hugh Doyle (pictured left to right in a court sketch from a previous hearing) are accused of being part of the Hatton Garden jewellery raid, which involved the theft of valuables including precious gems worth at least £14m, but potentially as much as £42m. Woolwich Crown Court was told that there had been a 'considerable' amount of planning before the raid over Easter weekend, and the gang had researched how to smash into the concrete vault.
