The 21-year-old ringleader was sent to prison for three years and nine months with his three 19 and 20 year-old accomplices handed three and a half year terms in a young offenders institute.

All four men had confessed to the German authorities about their involvement in the raid and it’s thought that their confessions played a part in their lenient sentences. The group didn’t divulge the whereabouts of the stolen money though. So far only €4,000 has been recovered with over €230,000 still yet to be accounted for.
