Daylight Smash-and-Grab Strikes Richmond Jeweller Gregory & Co

The family shop plans to reopen later this week after confirming staff safety with customer items secure in safes.

Overview

  • Two masked thieves used sledgehammers to break a bulletproof display around 10:30 a.m. Saturday and stole high-value jewellery.
  • A bystander’s phone video captured the attack and shows the suspects fleeing on foot toward Richmond Green.
  • The Metropolitan Police confirmed the robbery and reported no arrests or detentions as the investigation continues.
  • Gregory & Co reported no injuries, said all customer pieces remain in safes, and temporarily closed with reopening expected later this week.
  • A nearby employee told media that other shops were also hit during the episode, a claim not independently verified.
