Hearing they've nicked 12 people for it and recovered lots of property, be interesting to see how many people come forward to claim it !!

Must have been grassed up. Proof positive that you can't even trust honest villains these days. Ronnie and Reggie wouldn't have stood for it.

Barber out.

Just after the robbery had happened, just about every news outlet had some 'expert' saying that the items were probably already out of the country. Now, six weeks later, we hear that high value items had been recovered from the raids.. If these are goods from the robbery (and the police seem convinced they are) it a) doesn't say much about these 'experts' and b) doesn't say much about the robbers either. Did they really carry out the raids without buyers in mind. Unless, of course, it's the buyers they've raided and the blaggers are still on the loose

Scratchcard, Big Vern, Chinese Alan, Lennie the Lobster, 'Fingers' O'Flannagan and Mickey the Mole haven't been seen for days.

And apparently the Allegro was towed by the Met yesterday morning. Bad times.

They may have some 'big' high value items but the small much higher value, easily moved items, diamonds, will be long gone

A proper east end robbery. Likely to be made into a film.

Leader of the gang is called "Eyebrows".

No,this is Hollywood where Sylvester takes on I/State as he leads the Raid on Baghdad Banks (or whats left of them) before dropping the Swag over Tel Aviv (so the money is recycled) before landing in Libya and where he swims across the Mediterriean where the British Red Cross pick him up and send him to Calais where he manages to sneck on board Eurostar.

it was a hit on safty deposit boxes, there nothing bigger than can fit in a shoe box.

I wonder if they got the idea from a movie called 'The Bank Job' starring Jason Statham?

Martine offers Terry a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal.
