Chelsea jeweller 'lucky to be alive' after hammer robbery

A jeweller who was injured by hammer-wielding robbers said he was "lucky to be alive" after his business was targeted last week.

Two masked men went into Bourbon-Hanby Arcade on Sydney Street, Chelsea, at about midday on 26 March, and smashed counters and threatened staff.

Ian Towning, 76, says he now cannot sleep after more than 拢100,000 worth of jewellery was stolen from the arcade.

The Metropolitan Police has appealed for witnesses to come forward.

大象传媒 London's Leyla Hayes has the story.
