Man who foolishly' agreed to help steal 4.75m gold toilet avoids jail time
Briefly

Frederick Doe, 37, received a suspended sentence for his role in the theft of an 18-carat gold toilet valued at $4.75 million from Blenheim Palace, following a trial. Prosecutors emphasized his knowledge of valuable watches and connections in Hatton Garden, suggesting he was a target of the main conspirator, James Sheen. Doe was given a 21-month prison sentence suspended for two years and ordered to complete unpaid work. The luxurious toilet was stolen in a dramatic heist, destroyed, and has not been recovered.
"You were, at best, a middle man who was targeted by James Sheen as you knew people in Hatton Garden because of your knowledge of valuable watches."
"Those responsible for this audacious heist, five individuals could be seen on CCTV, were clearly intent on disposing of their ill-gotten gains quickly."
