Presented with the recordings, the CCTV footage, and other digital evidence, Reader, Perkins, Jones, and Collins felt they had no choice but to plead guilty. The others charged in the heist—Carl Wood, Hugh Doyle, and William Lincoln—were found guilty at trial in January.

The seven were sentenced in March 2016 to a total of 34 years imprisonment, most receiving sentences of between six and seven years (with the exception of Doyle, who received a suspended sentence).

Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd. went into liquidation in September 2015, unable to recover from its damaged reputation.

The mysterious Basil is still at large, as is more than two-thirds of the haul, worth more than $15 million.

The thieves had disabled the CCTV cameras and stolen their hard drives inside the building and its basement vault. “What they forgot, or didn’t know,” said the prosecutor, “was that one camera in that walkway outside the back of one jeweler was still working and recording what they were doing.”

Said Spindler, “They were analog criminals operating in a digital world, and no match for digital detectives.”
