Police arrest seven after $300 million London jewel heist
British police said Tuesday they arrested seven men in connection with a massive robbery last month in London's Hatton Garden jewelry district. More than 200 officers conducted raids on 12 locations around the country, apprehending seven men between the ages of 48 and 76 and recovering "a number of large bags containing significant amounts of high value property," according to police. Over Easter weekend, the thieves pilfered around $300 million worth of jewels and cash after drilling through a 20-inch thick concrete wall to enter the vault of a safety deposit company.
