Three men have been sentenced to a total of 14 years and 10 months in prison for a series of high-value smash and grab robberies in London's Mayfair and Chelsea. The gang targeted luxury fashion shops, including YSL, Bottega Venetta, END, and Lora Piana, causing £1 million in losses over a three-month period. They used stolen vehicles to ram the stores, quickly grabbing valuables and fleeing the scenes.
A particularly successful raid in December 2025 saw the theft of over 105 items, including a £30,000 coat. The Metropolitan Police tracked the offenders using CCTV and automatic number plate recognition, leading them to a shop in Cornwall where one of the gang members was selling stolen items. All four men were convicted of their roles in the crimes and sentenced accordingly.
The Met emphasized their commitment to tackling smash-and-grab robberies, highlighting a 15.6% drop in neighborhood crime across London over the previous year.
