LONDON — Two well-dressed thieves walked into a London Bond Street jewelry store last week and, after brandishing handguns at shop workers, made off with $65 million worth of gems in one of Britain’s biggest jewelry heists, police said Tuesday.
Security-camera footage released by police shows two men in crisp suits Thursday afternoon entering Graff Diamonds’ flagship store, a classical stucco and stone townhouse in London’s jewelry district. It was the third time a Graff store in London had been targeted in a high-profile raid in the past six years.
The men stole dozens of high-end rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches worth about $65 million, and fired two gunshots into the ground as they escaped in a series of getaway cars, police said. No one was hurt.
