Jewellery shop robbers still at large a month after daylight raid

-

A gang of armed robbers who injured a shopper during a raid on a Dundee jeweller’s shop are still at large, a month after the dramatic heist.

The four men robbed Walker Luxury Jewellery on Union Street just before 11am on Monday September 23.

The gang threatened staff in the shop with weapons before making off with jewellery worth a five-figure sum.

They also attacked one 60-year-old customer, leaving him requiring hospital treatment for a head wound.

The gang then fled in a white Ford Kuga.

It was later found abandoned in nearby South Victoria Dock Road.

One window display had been completely emptied.

The thieves had also attempted to break their way into a window display full of Rolex watches.

Police said one of the suspects was dropped off in Union Street shortly before the robbery.

The suspect walked into the shop and was then joined by another three suspects who were wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered.

After dumping the Ford, it is understood the criminals then got into a black Seat Leon Cupra to make their getaway.

Police said the Seat bore the registrati­on MD19 CVV, although these were not the original plates fitted to the vehicle.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Police in Dundee continue to carry out extensive investigat­ions to trace those involved in the robbery at a jeweller’s shop in Union Street on Monday September 23.”

Staff at the shop said yesterday they understand police are following “positive” lines of inquiry.
