Nine Arrests Made Over Hatton Garden Heist
Nine people have been arrested in connection with the Hatton Garden heist.
The arrests were made after police raided 12 properties in London and Kent.
It is believed £200m worth of jewellery was stolen after a gang broke into the vault at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in London over the Easter weekend.
The nine men arrested are between the ages of 48 and 76.
Detective Superintendent Craig Turner, Head of the Flying Squad, said: "As a result of those searches, a significant amount of high value property has been recovered. Can I just urge victims to please stay patient. Police officers will be in contact with them in order that we can restore this property back to their rightful owners. Please be patient in relation to this.
"This has been an exceptional, complex investigation and I thank everyone for remaining patient. I think this sends a message in relation to this type of crime that is committed within London that the MPS will do as much as they can to bring justice to those victims of crime."
