Swan Antiques Centre Tetsworth
A gang of "professional burglars" on their way to carry out a raid on an antiques shop killed one of their group when they crashed a stolen car head-on into a farmer driving home from work, Oxford Crown Court was told.
The surviving men - some of whom had previously been jailed for a £30million robbery plot on country mansions and a string of ram-raids on cash machines - were all seriously injured.
Jimmy Loveridge, Paul Smith, Albert Johnson and Rocky Broadway were speeding through country lanes in a stolen black Mercedes A45 when Loveridge, who was driving, cut the corner going round a blind bend.
