CCTV images showing burglars pulling off the “audacious” Hatton Garden jewellery heist have been released.

The images show three men outside Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd in central London, Scotland Yard said.

Contents of 72 safety deposit boxes were taken from the firm in wheelie bins and bags during the raid.

On Friday it emerged the Met received a call on Good Friday and were told an intruder alarm had gone off – but decided it did not require a response.

Officers are now investigating why the call was given a grade that meant no police response was deemed necessary.

Previously, Scotland Yard had said it was alerted to the burglary on Tuesday.
