Daniel Jones, now serving a seven-year prison sentence for his part in the notorious Hatton Garden heist in April 2015, has admitted to participating in another high-end heist, Jewelry Focus reports.
Jones, 59, admitted to take part in a 2010 heist in which robbers broke into Chatila jewellery store in Old Bond Street, London, walking away with £1 million worth of jewelry.
The Hatton Garden heist, one of the biggest in London’s history, occurred during the Easter bank holiday weekend raid in April 2015. Jewels worth tens of millions of pounds were stolen during the raid on 73 deposit boxes in Hatton Garden, London’s most exclusive jewellery district. All in all, hundreds of million of dollars were taken in diamonds, jewelry and cash money.
In May 2015, Scotland Yard arrested nine suspects in a series of police raids by more than 200 officers. Three pensioners were among those detained during the raids in London and Kent. Police said all those arrested were white British males between the ages of 48 to 76.
