Larry Lamb plays the lead role in the movie about the audacious Hatton Garden jewellery heist and has visited the site for the first time
Larry Lamb, who plays the lead role in a film about the Hatton Garden jewellery heist, has visited the site’s safe deposit area ahead of the movie’s release.
The 69-year-old former EastEnders star met with former Metropolitan Police commander Peter Spindler at the location as well as the Museum of London’s curator, Jackie Keily.
The British capital’s jewellery quarter was at the centre of a high-profile robbery over the Easter weekend in 2015 as a gang of career criminals stole valuables worth up to £14 million.
The Hatton Garden gang carried out the meticulously-planned crime, ransacking 73 boxes in the safe deposit after using a drill to bore a hole into the vault wall.
Larry, 69, is playing the role of the group’s ringleader Brian Reader.
Reader, 77, recently failed to win a cut to his six-year prison sentence.
The film’s cast includes ex EastEnders star Phil Daniels, Downton Abbey star Matthew Goode, Nip/Tuck actress Joely Richardson, Game Of Thrones’ Clive Russell and True Blood actor Stephen Moyer.
Shooting on the Ronnie Thompson-directed movie began in the summer.
The Hatton Garden Job is slated for release in December.
