Carl Wood

Career criminal convicted of conspiracy to commit the 2015 Hatton Garden burglary and conspiracy to conceal, convert or transfer criminal property.

Editorial standard

Convictions, acquittals, allegations and contextual links are kept distinct. A graph connection does not imply conduct beyond the relationship stated.

Background

Wood was part of the experienced criminal team assembled for the Hatton Garden burglary.

Case / activity

He participated in the first night of the raid but left before the successful second-night entry was completed.

Legal outcome

A jury nevertheless convicted him of conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy involving the criminal property.

Later context

In 2016 he received a six-year prison sentence.

Graph role

His profile fills an important gap between the core planners and the wider support team.

Timeline and case connections

Structured events are kept separate from general biography so later audits can update a date, conviction, killing, organizational split or court outcome without rewriting unrelated portions of the page.

Date not specified in current profile sources — Hatton Garden burglary. participant; convicted

Status and record

The structured birth record lists 1956. The structured life-status field is alive. This is an administrative status and should change only when a current reliable source supports an update.

Evidence and editorial boundaries

For living subjects especially, current status and legal claims need dated sourcing. The page therefore favors structured evidence over unsourced underworld lore, and future expansion should come from stronger sources or newly processed canonical entities rather than repetition.

Source record

The current Master package attaches the following evidence sources to this profile: – Hatton Garden gang members jailed for terms of up to seven years — The Guardian, Tier 2. – Man jailed over Hatton Garden raid appeals against conviction — The Guardian, Tier 2.

Each source supports only the claims tied to it. Structured source references are retained so later audits can trace individual timeline and relationship records back to evidence.

Core graph context

Event relationships currently include Hatton Garden burglary. These should be expanded as dated timeline entries only when the attached source package supports the chronology.

How this profile fits the archive

Those counts show the actual state of the archive. Dense connections justify deeper navigation; sparse connections are a research signal. The page should gain detail when new evidence creates real graph edges, not because a target word count needs filler.

Unknown dates and unresolved associations stay explicit. Future source passes can add court outcomes, prison records, organization changes, books or screen portrayals without changing the person’s canonical identity.
