As long as they don’t kill anybody I’m pretty sure the public always root for bank robbers 😂

'Basil' the mystery man who initially evaded capture, was the guy who disabled the alarm and had the front door keys. He was the smartest one out of the lot. He was an off grid, very private and cash only kind of guy, who didnt have an official job, didnt use phones, had a full face mask and wig on and avoided cameras during the heist.

He was eventually only caught after police scanned hours of surveillance footage of the rest of the gang and noticed a guy who had the same height, build and gait as 'Basil' from the vault cctv and took a chance. When they raided his flat, they found 150k worth of gold, cash and jewels along with smelting equipment. He pled not guilty and got the longest sentence out of everyone. His name was Michael Seed and he was the some of a Cambridge academic.

If it wasn't for that idiot Collins, using his OWN DAMN CAR instead of the untraceable white van they had arranged specifically for the job, and that other fool using his own name to purchase tools, the police wouldnt have had any leads to go on and they would have got away!

fair fuckin play to the old boys

He went on the bus to the heist with a free travel pass it wasn't even his own 😂😂

"Analog criminals operating in a digital world" Perfect conclusion.

Amazing how they were so clever yet so dumb at the same time

I like how they used Brick Top from snatch to narrate his letter 😂

Such a shame they didn’t get away with it.

“He went on the the Hatton Garden Raid on a free travel pass - it wasn’t even his own.” ABSOLUTE MAD LAD!!!

Such a cool story. I actually kinda wish they got away woth it

Ocean's 65 - One last job.

The 'r' in anpr is recognition not retrieval

Like the Brink's-Mat curse i can see lots of people being bumped off by assassins creeping into their houses in the middle of the night and turning their heating down.

they just went away for 24 hours, came back, did the robbery? Wow this is a world class safety deposit box facility.

Can't believe they made a mistake like using their own vehicles after otherwise pulling off a very intricate robbery!

£20.000 for information thats a poor reward lool

These Old Folks Just Made History..Salute 🙏🏼

He travelled to the robbery on a free old persons pass that wasn’t even his own 😂😂😂

The fact he gave his real name and address when buying the tools and their own car seems like someone wanted to make sure they took the fall.

UPDATE - Basil has been caught.. he had a distinct way of walking and CCTV was used to catch him.
