Moped Gang Returns for Dropped Loot at London Jewellers

A London jewellers was targeted twice in a single late-night incident on Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush. Initially, several men used a sledgehammer to smash the shop's windows and steal high-value gems around 3:30 AM on Thursday. Responding officers arrived within three minutes but the suspects fled.

Astonishingly, two men on a moped returned to the scene minutes later to retrieve dropped jewellery. Although officers pursued them on foot, the thieves escaped for a second time. Police managed to secure items scattered on the street and later arrested and charged one suspect, Jason Daley, with burglary and criminal damage.
