In a shocking incident on the eve of Black Friday, a group of robbers broke into a jewellers and made away with a large amount of jewellery, worth thousands of pounds. The daring thieves used a silver Range Rover to ram their way through the doors of Fleur jewellers, located in Walton-on-Thames High Street. They swiftly looted the shelves and made their escape in a getaway car that was parked nearby.
The aftermath of the raid left the shop's facade in ruins, with shattered glass strewn all over the floor. Despite the chaos, the owner of the independent jewellers was seen trying to clean up the debris the next morning. However, they declined to comment on the incident. The police were also present at the scene, investigating the robbery and gathering evidence.
According to witnesses, the masked robbers barged into the shop and quickly filled their bags with valuable jewellery before fleeing. The local community was left in shock and took to social media to express their support for the affected business. One customer, Tony Pegler, who also happens to be the shop's window cleaner, spoke to Metro about the unfortunate incident. He expressed his sympathy for the shop's owner, saying that it's already challenging to run a high street shop in today's tough market.
The sentiment was echoed by another customer who shared their sadness for the small business owner. At the scene, a local resident revealed that the targeted shop was a beloved part of the community, and that they themselves had purchased their engagement ring from there. The incident was deemed not only terrible but also dangerous.
The police were hard at work, examining the damaged Range Rover and scouring CCTV footage for clues that could help solve the case. Meanwhile, a cordon was set up around the shop, as Fleur's speciality in wedding and engagement rings made it a prime target for the robbers. They specifically targeted the more expensive items kept in glass cabinets at the centre of the store.
The Surrey Police have been contacted for further updates on the investigation. This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by small, independent businesses and the importance of supporting them in the community. Our thoughts are with the affected jewellers and we hope for a swift resolution to this unfortunate event.
