Casting call for Hatton Garden: The Movie

The increasingly implausible revelations concerning the Hatton Garden heist (Report, 22 May) have me wondering if it was masterminded by a movie producer needing a new script. It has all the elements of an old school British crime caper and I can’t help casting the lead roles: Ray Winstone, Michael Caine, Brian Cox, Martin and Gary Kemp, Vinnie Jones and Shane Richie are my frontrunners. Any better ideas?
