By Richard Hartley-parkinson PUBLISHED: 08:51 EST, 28 March 2013 | UPDATED: 20:15 EST, 28 March 2013 A judge warned foreign criminals yesterday that Britain is not a ‘soft touch’ as he jailed a Romanian gang for a £1million theft campaign. The ten gang members exploited EU border laws to travel freely between Romania and the UK purely to steal high-quality gold from Turkish and Indian jewellery shops. The ‘professional’ criminals aged between 20 and 30 were chastised by Old Bailey Judge Timothy Pontius for not having done ‘an honest day’s work while they were here’.
