BRIAN "The Guvnor" Reader, mastermind of the Hatton Garden heist, has died aged 84, it emerged last night.
The notorious criminal made more than £200million from some of Britain's most high-profile heists including the £26m Brink's-Mat robbery in 1983.
It was later dubbed the crime of the century.
Reader actually passed away last year but his death had remained a closely guarded secret until yesterday.
A death certificate, which described his profession as a "retired gardener", revealed he died last September at his home in Dartford, Kent, following a battle with colon and prostate cancer.
He was a friend and close associate of infamous gangster Kenny Noye.
Reader was played by Michael Caine in the 2018 film King of Thieves about the Hatton Garden raid, which also starred Jim Broadbent, Ray Winstone and Michael Gambon.
