Infamous Johnson’s get jail for UK’s biggest heist

Five members of the Infamous Johnson family, responsible for the UK’s biggest ever domestic burglary, have been jailed for up to 11 years each.

Members of the notorious crime family stole antiques worth more than £80 million in a series of heists at stately homes across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Worcestershire. The family’s heist were extremely well thought out and well executed.

The biggest of their burglaries was carried out on Harry Hyams’ 17th century home, Ramsbury Manor in Wiltshire, in February 2006.

The reclusive property tycoon and art collector, who built Centre Point in London, had filled his mansion with a world-famous collection of fine art, including works by Titian, Rubens and Rembrandt. After the raid, gang members made off with art and antiques worth at least £30 million.

Richard “Chad” Johnson, 33, and Daniel O’Loughlin, 32, were both jailed for 11 years, Michael Nicholls, 29, was given 10 years, Albi Johnson, 25, was jailed for nine years and 54-year-old Ricky Johnson was given eight years.

“I would like to make it clear to the people out there, to the police and the rich people like Lord Rothschild – if I feel the need when I have got to rob a stately home, I will do so.

I will rob it and hope I don’t get caught. But I will only rob your house if I feel the need and I have got to feed my children and nobody is helping me achieve my goal.

I feel I have got the f****** right to rob the lords out there. I feel I have got the right to rob the lords, sirs and the ladies.”

– Ricky Johnson

Hard to disagree with that logic.
