EXCLUSIVE Hatton Garden Heist mastermind Brian 'The Guvnor' Reader 'sells Kent ... trends now
The mastermind of the Hatton Garden heist, who also laundered gold stolen in the Brink's-Mat robbery, is likely set to make millions of pounds from selling his huge estate.
Brian 'The Guvnor' Reader, 84, has seemingly accepted offers worth £2.5million for three houses on his 7,149sq ft estate in Dartford, Kent, MailOnline can reveal.
He will garner £900,000 from the sale of his four-bedroom villa-style home, called Pentire, and £1.6million for two more four-bedroom houses, called Holly and Laurel, which are set to sell for £800,000 each.
Reader was the oldest member of the Hatton Garden heist gang, and also stood trial along with Kenneth Noye for the murder of undercover police officer Detective Constable John Fordham, 45, in 1985. Both Reader and Noye were acquitted.
Ageing thief Reader was previously ordered by the Court of Appeal to sell up in 2019.

Reader had nearly completed the houses Holly and Laurel in his back garden and was hoping cash from some of the £10million in jewels that the group reportedly sold would help him finish off the project.
The retired car salesman was jailed for six years for his part in the 2015 Hatton Garden safety deposit heist, but was released after serving less than three.
