Daring Early Morning Robbery at Temple Fortune Boots!
Police hunt four mopeds riders after smashing their way into Boots on Finchley Road and stealing over £5,000 worth of top-brand aftershave and perfume.
Smash and Grab at 1:25am
At 01:25am on Thursday, 26 April, four suspects on two dark mopeds pulled up outside Boots the Chemists in Temple Fortune. One carried a large cement post, which was used to smash through the shop’s front door.
They stormed inside, broke glass display cabinets, and stuffed bags with luxury scents from YSL, Armani, Hugo Boss, Paco Rabanne, Givenchy, Diesel, Dior, Lacoste, DKNY, Davidoff, Cerruti, and CK One — making off with more than £5,000 in goods.
