Hatton Garden thief jailed for 7 more years

Hatton Garden burglar Daniel Jones has been handed more jail time after failing to pay back more than £6million.

the 63- year- old was sentenced to another six years and 287 days in prison as he did not pay off the confiscation order given in January.

Jones, who was part of the raid over the Easter weekend in 2015, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday. He was originally jailed for seven years in March 2016.

Heather Chalk of the CPS said: ‘In January, the CPS showed the court Jones had funds to pay back his ill-gotten gains and we successfully argued his default sentences should be activated. He has failed to do so and will face more time in prison.’

Pensioners John ‘Kenny’ Collins and terry Perkins are already serving sevenyear sentences, while Brian Reader was given six years and three months for his part. at a confiscation hearing in January, Judge Christopher Kinch QC said each jointly benefited from about £13.69million in cash, gold and gems after a drill was used to bore a hole in the vault wall.

they were ordered to pay a combined £6,396,273 between them. the gang was also ordered to each pay an extra sum depending on their personal circumstances.
