Jewelry Robbers Raid London's Graff Diamonds

August 09, 09 by IDEX Onlnie Staff Reporter

Two men robbed Graff Diamonds located on New Bond Street, in the Mayfair district of London. Described as smartly dressed, the men stepped out of a cab and walked into the store.

 

Once in the store, they brandished a handgun, threatening employees with it, and grabbed gems and jewelry.

 

As they exited the store, they took a woman hostage and fired warning shots at police and drinkers in a nearby pub chasing the robbers.

 

Once out, the robbers climbed into a blue BMW only to ditch the car when it collided into a taxi. They then sped off in a silver Mercedes.

 

In a 2003 robbery at Graff Diamonds in London, robbers netted merchandise worth £23 million (US$38.37 million) from the shop.
