Hairdresser ‘petrified’ after turning witness

A MAKE-UP artist who created sophisticated disguises for the Securitas robbers is living in fear after becoming the star witness for the prosecution.

Michelle Hogg, who is now in the witness protection scheme, told the Old Bailey she was “petrified” after identifying members of the gang in court.

Hogg, from Plumstead, south-east London, began the case in the dock alongside the men accused of planning and carrying out the record-breaking heist.
