«Breaking News» London burglars pull off Hatton Garden-style raid at upmarket jewellers during Half Marathon

An 'elite' gang of burglars reportedly made off with rings and diamonds worth tens of thousands of pounds from an upmarket jewellers after drilling through a wall in a Hatton Garden-style raid.

Thieves broke into the upmarket George Attenborough and Son Jewellers on Fleet Street in central London at some stage over the weekend, as thousands of runners competing in the London Landmarks Half Marathon thundered past nearby. 

It has been suggested the thieves - who are still at large - used drills to gain access to the secure building and complete the raid, reports the Sun.

The thieves are believed to have broken in by hiding in a passageway between the jewellers and the William Hill bookmaker next door.

Supporters cheering on the 13,000 runners could have masked the drilling sounds.

A Scotland Yard statement confirmed members of its Serious and Organised Crime Command were involved in the investigation.

It said: 'Police were called shortly before 2am on Monday, March 25, to a report of a burglary at a jewellers in Fleet Street.

'A quantity of jewellery was stolen. An investigation has been launched, led by detectives from the Met's Flying Squad. Forensic examination work is continuing at the scene.

'No arrests have been made. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances and identify those responsible.

'We are not providing further information at present, and we are not disclosing details of what was stolen.

Police would not confirm the worth of the goods stolen, but said an investigation has been launched by the Met's Flying Squad 

'Any witnesses, or anyone with information, should call police via 101 quoting CAD 451/mar25.

'To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'

A businessman working above the jewellers told the Sun: 'They’ve come on the William Hill side, it’s not clear exactly how. They could have been helping themselves all weekend as they are both closed.' 

The incident happened a short distance from the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company, which was raided in April 2015.

Of the £13.6million of property stolen in the heist, only around £4.5million - roughly one-third - has since been recovered by police.

Earlier this month, alarm specialist Michael Seed - known by the moniker Basil - became the 10th person convicted in connection with the crime/

He was found guilty of conspiracy to burgle and conspiracy to handle the proceeds after £143,000 worth of gold ingots, gems and jewellery was found in his bedroom.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
