The police first announced that the facility had been burgled on 7 April,〔 and reports based on CCTV footage state that the attack on the facility commenced on 2 April.〔 The theft is being investigated by the Flying Squad,〔 a branch of the Specialist, Organised & Economic Crime Command within London's Metropolitan Police Service.

The London Fire Brigade later stated that the fire had been caused by an electrical fault, with no sign of arson. A CCTV recording of the incident was released by the ''Daily Mirror'' before the police released it. The video recording showed people nicknamed by the newspaper as "Mr Ginger, Mr Strong, Mr Montana, The Gent, The Tall Man and The Old Man".〔 On 22 April, the police released pictures of the inside of the vault showing damage caused by the burglary, and how the burglars had used holes drilled through the vault's wall to bypass the main vault door. On 19 May, the Metropolitan Police announced that nine arrests had been made in connection with their investigation into the raid.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hatton Garden raid: Nine men arrested )〕 On 1 September 2015, it was announced that the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company had gone into liquidation as the business had become insolvent because, "trade dried up" as a result of the robbery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hatton Garden safe deposit burglary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
