Hatton Garden loot: Almost £700,000 of jewellery set for auction
Loot from the Hatton Garden heist will be sold off at auction
Some £3,635,000 of the loot – stolen from deposit boxes after a hole was drilled into a vault wall – has been identified and will be returned to owners.
But the rest, including less distinctive items such as chains lacking identifying features, cannot be claimed by any of around 40 victims.
The Metropolitan Police said the goods – worth £689,233 – will be sold to the public, with the auctioneer and date to be decided.
The proceeds will go to the victims and the amount raised will also be deducted from the confiscation order levelled at the four leaders.
