Further CCTV stills of the two men wanted in connection with the robbery at Graff Jewellers on Thursday 6th August at 16.40 have today been released.

The images show the two men, and the blue BMW outside Graff Jewellers in New Bond Street at approx 17.40hrs on Tuesday 4th August.

DCI Pam Mace, head of Barnes Flying Squad said;

‘We believe this was more than just a practice run, and that they were planning on committing the robbery on the 4th August.

‘The stills clearly show the men outside Graff Jewellers, looking into the shop, and the blue BMW driving through New Bond Street.

‘There has been a million pound reward offered in connection with the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person(s) responsible, and the recovery of the stolen property offered up by Tyler and Company on behalf of the interested insurers, and I am urging anyone who has information about those responsible, or where the jewellery is to come forward.’

‘They are wearing similar clothing to when they committed the offence on Thursday 6th of August however the white man is wearing, in these stills, a purple shirt and no tie.

‘What happened on Tuesday 4th August after they left the area? Did you see them or the BMW, we need you to come forward and speak to us please.’
