Police have released CCTV images of a van and three suspects wanted in connection with the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit raid.

Scotland Yard said the trio were "highly audacious" and entered the building in London's jewellery quarter twice over the Easter weekend.

The images have been released by police after CCTV footage apparently showing a gang of burglars carrying out the raid was published by the Daily Mirror.

Scotland Yard today confirmed it was investigating why the force did not respond to an intruder alarm which had been activated last Friday at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd which was raided over the Easter weekend.

At this stage we have established that on Friday, 3 April at 00:21hrs a call was received at the MPS Central Communications Command (MetCC) from Southern Monitoring Alarm Company. The call stated that a confirmed intruder alarm had been activated at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd.

The call was recorded and transferred to the police's CAD (computer aided despatch) system. A grade was applied to the call that meant that no police response was deemed to be required. We are now investigating why this grade was applied to the call. This investigation is being carried out locally.
