Three men are sentenced to prison for their role in a burglary at a depot in St Albans in which they targeted Mounjaro, a diabetes medication. Mark Harding, 55, Peter Costello, 44, and Robert Townsend, 59, each receive a sentence of five years and three months after pleading guilty to burglary at St Albans Crown Court. The theft is reported as involving nearly £1 million worth of Mounjaro, which is also described in some reporting as about €1 million. The case centres on the men smashing into the depot to carry out the offence and attempting to steal large quantities of the drug. All three defendants are convicted after their guilty pleas, and the custodial sentences are imposed by the court. The reports agree on the defendants’ names and ages, the court location, the length of the prison terms, the guilty pleas, and that the burglary involved Mounjaro with a value approaching the reported million-pound/euro figures.
