The Long Way In

Christmas in Hatton Garden: forty-one safe-deposit boxes emptied, five million pounds of gold gone, and the steel door never opened.

The scene

Greville Street, in the heart of Hatton Garden, London's jewellery quarter. The Christmas holidays, Saturday afternoon to Wednesday morning, with Christmas Eve falling on the Sunday.

Target: Greville Street Safe Deposit. Who robbed Greville Street Safe Deposit?

An original heist for the Moriarty tier. Read the statements and evidence on the floor, rule out suspects, then name the thief, the motive and the two cards that prove it.
