Chelsea jeweller 'lucky to be alive' after hammer robbery

Available for over a year

A jeweller who was injured by hammer-wielding robbers said he was "lucky to be alive" after his business was targeted last week. Two masked men went into Bourbon-Hanby Arcade on Sydney Street, Chelsea, at about midday on 26 March, and smashed counters and threatened staff. Ian Towning, 76, says he now cannot sleep after more than £100,000 worth of jewellery was stolen from the arcade. The Metropolitan Police has appealed for witnesses to come forward. Âé¶¹Éç London's Leyla Hayes has the story.
