More Loot From Hatton Garden Raid Recovered

More Loot From Hatton Garden Raid Recovered

Detectives have recovered more of the stolen jewellery from the £20m Hatton Garden raid.

But there are still "many millions" missing, a judge was told.

The development emerged at a bail hearing for plumber Hugh Doyle, one of the 13 defendants charged over the heist at the safe deposit centre in London.

Prosecutor Philip Evans told Woolwich Crown Court: "Earlier this week officers investigating the crime recovered a significant amount of additional stolen property.

"But there remains many millions of pounds of jewellery still outstanding. A very significant quantity of stolen property remains outstanding."

Originally police estimated the value of the stolen jewellery, gems and cash at £10m, but earlier the week Mr Evans said it was now thought to be between £15m and £20m.

Mr Doyle, 48, is one of five men who are to stand trial next month after denying charges of conspiracy to burgle and disposing of stolen goods.

He was refused bail.

Four other men have admitted burglary and are awaiting sentence.

Four more defendants have been charged with handling stolen property but have yet to enter pleas.
