How much was stolen: £4 million worth of jewels and watches.
Five armed robbers managed to escape with 43 rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. They entered the prestigious appointment only Graff's in New Bond Street, firing shots and making a well planned getaway.
The robbery was reported a week later as insurance loss adjustors didn't want to reveal anything that might encourage other robbers.
