Hatton Garden heist ringleader Brian Reader jailed | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The ringleader of the £14m Hatton Garden heist in London has been jailed for six years and three months. | |
Brian Reader, 77, described as "The Master", is the oldest member of the gang who stole jewellery from the safety deposit, last Easter. | |
Reader, of Dartford, Kent, who appeared at Woolwich Crown Court via video link from jail, is the last gang member to be sentenced. | |
The five other members have been jailed for up to seven years each. | |
Judge Christopher Kinch said he had taken into account the fact Reader is "seriously unwell" following a stroke while being held at Belmarsh Prison. | |
But he added: "I'm satisfied that you were rightly described as one of the ringleaders and involved in regular meetings." |
