Jewellers raid nets £40m of items
The men were smartly dressed
Robbers made off with nearly £40m worth of items in a raid on a jewellery store in central London, police have said.
Two men armed with handguns threatened staff at Graff jewellers in New Bond Street on 6 August before taking 43 items, including rings and watches.
They dragged a female member of staff outside as they left the shop and fired a shot, although no-one was injured.
Detectives have released CCTV images of the men they want to speak to and pictures of some of the stolen items.
'Extremely dangerous'
The value of the items stolen has been estimated at $65m (just under £40m).
Det Ch Insp Pam Mace from the Flying Squad said: "This was a well planned robbery with a number of vehicles used to help the robbers escape.
"These men are extremely dangerous and fired at least two shots in busy London streets as they made their getaway.
More than 40 items were taken
"Someone knows who these men are, they would undoubtedly have spoken about it beforehand or boasted about it afterwards."
The "smartly dressed" pair escaped in a blue BMW.
They fired once while leaving the store and then again in Dover Street where they abandoned the BMW, police said.
The robbers then got into a silver Mercedes and drove into Farm Street where it is believed some of the suspects got into another vehicle, possibly a black Ford Galaxy or Volkswagen Sharan.
The first suspect is described as white, about 30 years old, slim and between 5ft 10ins and 6ft tall.
The other man is described as black, in his 30s, 6ft tall, more well- built than the first suspect, with very short hair.
