Lincolnshire Police have released CCTV footage of the robbery at the James Usher & Son Jewellers, which took place on Saturday, May 15th. The video shows the two men who where acting as police forensic staff, donning white hooded boiler suits with dust masks covering their faces.
In the CCTV footage (embedded below), the two robbers entered the jewellery shop, one remaining at the door, and the other one threatening the store assistant with a hammer, and putting valuables in a bag. The two men then quickly run out of the shop, with the assistant following them to the door. About £80,000 worth of jewels were stolen from James Usher & Son Jewellers.
After leaving the store with the valuables, the thieves fled in a green Vauxhall Astra, registration number P56 WCN.
