The Hatton Garden Heist

What I wonder about is the noise. In the movies, they're always careful to fill that plot hole with "construction in the area" or "over a weekend when no one's there." How did they drill three holes that big with no one hearing?

The movie plots have them breaking up the concrete with jackhammer type tools, which makes a lot of noise. This was taken out in three plugs with diamond rimmed hole saws. I've seen 8 inch in use and I'm sure they make much bigger. It's not all that noisy, but takes a lot longer, and they require water for cooling and to wash the cut dust out. I have several half inch ones for drilling glass.
