A heavy duty drill was used to bore holes to access the vault

Police failed to respond to Hatton Garden alarm

Police were told an intruder alarm had gone off at the Hatton Garden safe deposit box but decided it did not require a response.

About 70 safety deposit boxes were opened at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd in central London over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

The Met Police said they received a call on Friday 3 April at 00:21 BST.

Officers are now investigating why the call was given a grade that meant no police response was deemed necessary....

this type of thing could happen a lot more often.

police departments get sick & tired of responding to false alarms.

read once about bank robbers purposely setting off alarms at a bank & waiting across the street as police responded a handful of times one night...then robbed the vault knowing that the police wouldn't respond right away

Isn't it weird how thieves are by far the least reviled criminals? I mean, I think this is cool as shit too, but theft is celebrated pretty widely. Just seems odd to me.

Depends on what kind of thieves. Stealing millions from rich assholes is ok in my book.


Those same rich assholes who made their fortunes by scheming and stealing from the common man. **** them.
