Thirteen people arrested in connection with the £10m Hatton Garden jewellery raid are due to appear in court today to enter pleas.
Nine of the suspects – Terry Perkins, 67, John Collins, 74, Daniel Jones, 58, Hugh Doyle, 48, William Lincoln, 59, Brian Reader, 76, Paul Reader, 50, Carl Wood, 58 and John Harbinson, 42 – all face charges of conspiracy to burgle.
They are also accused of conspiracy to conceal, disguise, convert or transfer criminal property.
Also due to appear in court are Brenn Walters, also known as Ben Perkins, 43, Laura Perkins, 40, Terri Robinson, 35, and Steven Robinson, 46, charged with conspiracy to conceal, disguise, convert or transfer criminal property.
The suspects will appear at Woolwich Crown Court this morning (September 4), before a trial schedule for November.
The raid over the Easter weekend saw thieves break into the vault at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company using heavy cutting equipment, where they opened some 73 deposit boxes.
Earlier this week it emerged that Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company has gone into liquidation. It is understood to have been owed a large amount of money from deposit box holders and it is believed that some customers have taken their business elsewhere.
