Victims of the Hatton Garden jewellery raid have found “their livelihoods have gone”, according to a loss adjuster.
Rick Marchant, of Marchant and Marchant Limited, said many of those who lost valuables taken when a gang of thieves ransacked 72 safety deposit boxes over Easter weekend were not “mainly small businesses”.
He told the BBC he was dealing with seven clients who had lost items worth up to £2 million in the burglary at Hatton Garden Safety Deposit Company, in London’s famous jewellery quarter.
Police have offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of all those involved and have released images of the Hilti DD350 drill that was used to bore a hole 20 inch (50cm) deep, 10in (25cm) high, and 18in (45cm) into the vault wall.
Mr Marchant told the broadcaster: “These aren’t extremely wealthy people for a lot of them their livelihoods have gone.”
