Armed Six Men Attack And Robbed A Watchshop

Six men are on the run after trying to smash their way into a luxury watch store armed with a handgun, an axe and a sledgehammer.
The men, on three mopeds, were seen driving at speed along Oxford Street in central London towards the Watches of Switzerland shop in Bond Street.
Pedestrians were forced to jump out of the way as the mopeds headed for the shop.

When they reached the store, the men rammed the door with a moped and then attacked it with the hammer and axe.
Police said one of the group began to spray people with a noxious liquid if they approached the shop.

The substance was thought to be ammonia and a security guard was treated in hospital after the attempted armed robbery on Monday, March 17. His injuries are potentially life-changing, police said.
One of the suspects is thought to have had a handgun.
