Jewel Robbery Strikes London With $254000 Loot
Three masked bandits robbed an airline truck in central London during rush hour stealing gold bullion and diamonds valued at 254000 dollars. Scotland Yard launched a massive manhunt as Heathrow and other ports were placed on maximum alert. The underpass along Piccadilly near Hyde Park Corner was used, with two vehicles possibly involved, and details on the robbers remain scant. The KLM spokesman called it the largest robbery against the airline, noting the cargo was en route to Amsterdam for several clients.
