About time we had a good old fashioned Cockney crime.

Not the perfect heist if their lives are not worth tuppence now. They stole from some interesting people.

"The Adams family, who have an estimated fortune of £200million, are one of the most feared in the country and are said to be responsible for 25 murders.

They rose to power in the 1980s and have been linked to drug trafficking, extortion, hijacking and large-scale fraud."

You, and they, are assuming that this is a gang of "British crims" that crossed over onto the Adams "patch"

and so should be very worried.

Could well be other gangs from Europe where they might not take much notice of "patches" and also

aren't afraid of people's reputations or more likely are more than capable of inflicting worse back - such

as the Russians, Serbs etc etc.

(Just like when the PLO were doing nasty things to westerners and kidnapping them, they only did it once to the

Russians because the Russians sent pieces of one of the kidnappers relatives saying release them or else. It had

the desired effect).

This looks like one very slick gang that had done the homework for a long time before hand.

Interesting comments from people who heard drilling.

Anyone with the history of that family, will have widespread connections. Europe is a small place indeed for such things.

They will know likely fencers; jewellers; cutters...

I did take into consideration the fact that the heist may not be a British concern. You made an assumption, not me 🙂

Nowhere did I say, that I thought they were British (or not)

[amber-eyed-girl]

It is not purely, the "patch". It is also, the possible theft of their belongings.

Two reasons to go after anyone, wherever they are from. If that means recriminations, going with the idea that the perpetrators are themselves, perhaps connected (Russians or whatever) then it could go on from there.

Pot, kettle, black .......... LOL

[amber-eyed-girl]

If we are speculating...good chance wealthy Russians lost some loot, too. hmmmm...

[vicr3000]

Wouldn't surprise me.


Wait and see who plays the dirtiest !!! LOL

[amber-eyed-girl]

Yes. Well it has been full of twists so far. Didn't lose anything myself 😉

[vicr3000]

It was good to see that the thieves adhered to all the health and safety regulations !

Hard hats, hi viz vests, dust masks

Keep the huggy fluffies happy at least !
