Four men, including one from Kent, have pleaded guilty to involvement in the Hatton Garden heist in which millions of pounds of valuables were stolen from safety deposit boxes.
John Collins, 74, Daniel Jones, 68, Terence Perkins, 67, and Brian Reader, 76, who is from Dartford, admitted conspiracy to burgle during a hearing at Woolwich crown court this afternoon.
Brian Reader's son, Paul, 50, also from Dartford, is yet to enter a plea and is due to face a possible trial in November.
The four men faced an additional charge of conspiracy to convert or transfer criminal property, namely a quantity of jewellery and other items between April 1 and May 19.
However, prosecutor Philip Evans told the court the Crown would not be pursuing the charge due to the guilty plea.
The London burglary took place over the Easter weekend earlier this year and is believed to have involved £10 million of jewels, cash and other valuables.
A law firm confirmed the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company had gone into liquidation earlier this month as the business was insolvent.
