Maida Vale robbery: Five arrests after armed moped gang raid north-west London jewellers

Five men have been arrested after a daylight robbery at a jewellery shop in north-west London.

Police scrambled to Maida Vale at around 5.12pm on Monday to reports of a group of moped riders armed with knives, a hammer and a crowbar targeting Amir Jewellery.

Pictures and footage from the scene show a group of men pulling up outside before they reportedly smashed into the shop.

Brave members of the public frantically chased two male suspects on foot and detained one nearby.
