C.J. QUINN
Balham, London
There were several jewel shop robberies over the week end. At Balham, a London suburb, some men got away m an automobile with $750 worth of rings and pendants from the premises of C.J. Quinn, watchmaker and jeweler. An Iron grid was wrenched off the window. The thieves waited until a patrolman had passed around the back of the “island” on which the shop is situated, and then worked with incredible swiftness. The officer heard the smash of glass and dashed back to the store only to see the raiders disappearing down the street in the faint light of dawn. The interruption, however, saved the jeweler much additional loss since the most valuable jewelry pieces in the trim were undisturbed.

T. & A. HIRSCHFELD
Hatton Garden, London
Jewelry consisting of around 250 diamond watches, diamond rings, brooches and bracelets, and a number of loose diamonds in chamois leather wallets, was stolen during the week-end from the three-floor establishment of T. & A. Hirschfeld, manufacturing jewelers of Hatton Garden. Considerable audacity was shown by the cracksmen who evidently were of the top class and it appears that they put in the best part of the week-end on the jewelry premises, making a leisurely selection of the valuables they wanted. The fact that they moved their oxy-acetylene apparatus into the building (which is in the heart of the “Garden”) concealed in large packing cases at a time when a firm of sponge importers was moving into ground floor offices, indicates organizing ability of no mean order. Folk who saw the large packing cases being carried into the building from a motor truck naturally concluded they were part of the furnishings of the new sponge importing tenants. When the robbery was discovered Monday morning by the jewelers the five-foot six-inch packing cases containing the safe drilling implements were lying alongside the damaged safe, while empty jewel cases and pads were strewn about the floor. Only the most valuable jewelry was taken. Stock contained in rooms on other floors, and of minor value, was ignored. The jewelry taken from the safe in the main office on the first floor was worth $35,000. An electric lamp is kept burning just above the safe at night, and the safe kept close to the window so it could be seen by patrolmen in the street. It is presumed that the cracksmen worked on the safe with their apparatus (which included two five-foot cylinders of oxygen) during daylight on Saturday and Sunday, otherwise they would have been seen from the street at night time. They had made elaborate arrangements for a quick getaway in case of interruption, a back window and protecting bars having been removed, and the fire escape door on the top floor jammed open ready for instant use. The jewelry premises were closed at 1 p.m. Saturday and the first member of the firm to arrive the following Monday at 8 a.m. found the outer office door hanging from its hinges. The thieves bored a hole three inches in diameter exactly over the lock of the safe and closed it again while the metal was still hot thus causing the mechanism to “seize” and delay the police in their investigation until the safe makers could be communicated with.

WOOLF PHILLIPS
Oxford Street, London
When a man arrested by a member of Scotland Yard’s Flying-Squad was before the Marylebone magistrate last week accused of the theft of $1,000 worth of jewelry from the home of Woolf Phillips, Oxford St. jeweler, it was stated that he returned to get the stuff stolen 48 hours previously. He got into a room by climbing the stackpipe at the rear of the house. Detectives said the jewelry was hidden in a dog kennel. Practically all of it has been recovered.

JONATHAN ROSS
Hackney, London
The fourth smash-and-grab raid in the past 18 months was staged at the jewelry store of Jonathan Ross, Hackney, East London last week, but the thief got away with only $30 worth of articles, a few cheap wristlet watches. He smashed the plate glass with a brick wrapped in a cloth. The police discovered the robbery early in the morning. The last raid on this shop was a month ago when $250 worth of goods were stolen. In each raid the job was done between 6 and 7 a. m.

B. BARNETT, Ltd.
Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square, London
A burglar alarm that rang for an hour on the premises of B. Barnett, Ltd., jewelers and silversmiths, of Cranbourn St., Leicester Square, the other night, resulted in a cordon of police surrounding the place and conducting a detailed search of roof, basement and area. The police climbed over roofs 75 feet high and got into the jewelry basement through a neighboring building. The establishment adjoins the Hippodrome theater and one part of the roof was reached from the theater. Officers were unable to enter the jewelry premises which were securely fastened and padlocked. An attempt to get in touch with the jeweler failed, so the police remained on guard all night until the staff came on duty. No signs of a burglar could be found. The theaters were emptying at the time and large crowds collected to watch the police flashing their lamps behind chimney stacks.
