Earlier this month a law firm confirmed the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company had gone into liquidation as the business was insolvent and "owes money to companies and people". They pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle, namely to enter Hatton Garden Safe Deposit in London with intent to steal, between 1 January and 7 April.
Five other men still face trial in November for conspiring to commit the burglary. The four men also faced a charge of conspiracy to convert or transfer criminal property, but the prosecution said they would not pursue the charge in light of their guilty pleas in relation to the conspiracy to burgle.

After the burglary, the Met Police launched an investigation into why after police were made aware an intruder alarm had gone off at the scene of the raid it was decided the alarm did not require a response.
The force apologised for not following procedures and said they would investigate why the call was given a grade that meant no police response was deemed necessary.
