Caught on Camera: Thugs Wield Hammer in Richmond Robbery

In a brazen daytime attack, two men armed with a large hammer targeted Gregory & Co., a family-run jewellers in Richmond, west London. Onlooker footage captured the moment the assailants smashed the shop's window display, rapidly filling a bag with stolen items. Staff inside bravely attempted to confront and deter the thieves, but the robbers ultimately fled the scene.

This incident is the latest in a string of similar heists targeting jewellers across the capital. Just last Thursday, Sultan Jewellers in Shepherds Bush suffered a similar fate, with multiple assailants using a sledgehammer. Police responded swiftly, arriving within three minutes, but were threatened with a hammer as the suspects fled on mopeds. One 33-year-old man was arrested for aggravated burglary and remains in custody, though others escaped.
