The Hatton Garden burglary was unquestionably audacious. It was a crime that required cunning, strength and physical fitness.
The gang responsible switched off most of the alarms and security cameras. They clambered down a lift shaft to get to the vault. They spent hours drilling through concrete. They forced open 73 safety deposit boxes.
But this wasn't the work of a gang of young, ambitious criminals.
Met says sorry over failure to respond to intruder alertpublished at 16:10
The Met has apologised for failing to respond to a call from a security firm when an intruder alert was triggered at Hatton Garden on Good Friday.
Det Supt Craig Turner said: "We apologise for not actually attending the alarm. It is quite clear that police should have attended."
Image source, ReutersHe said Scotland Yard had "reviewed all our systems and processes" as a result.
However, Det Supt Turner pointed out a key holder for the company "did turn up, [and] they would have seen exactly what the police would have seen."
During the trial the court heard after the alarm was activated, one of the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit security guards attended the scene but after looking through the door and seeing nothing untoward, called the building owner to say it was a false alarm.

£20,000 reward to find mystery raider 'Basil'published at 15:25

The Met's Flying Squad detectives have renewed their appeal for information about mystery raider "Basil" and offered a £20,000 reward.
Basil was instrumental in the gang gaining access to the vault at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit.
The red-haired character is seen on CCTV, obscuring his face from the camera, walking through Hatton Garden on both nights of the raid.
Thought to be the alarm and key man, he let the thieves into the building and clambered through the hole that had been drilled in the concrete and into the vault.
Detective Superintendent Craig Turner said: "The investigation will be still ongoing. We will seek to identify the individual known as Basil. I refresh our appeal and offer a £20,000 reward.
"We don't know anything about Basil, that is why we are putting out the appeal."
Hugh Doyle readmitted to bailpublished at 15:20
Hugh Doyle, one of the men found guilty of being involved in the heist, has been readmitted to bail.
Judge Kinch said: "He has been convicted, albeit of the slightest of counts on the indictment of any defendant in this case.
"Nonetheless, his conviction (is) in relation to involvement in an extremely significant matter, and one which is likely to carry or result in a custodial sentence.
"That said, I take the view that he has acted responsibly since being granted bail."
Doyle's sentence is being discussed this afternoon in court.
