Islington police followed a moped that may have been involved in attempt to stop it, but failed to catch it, a moped was then found abandoned around Wyclif Court, St John Street EC1, the officers saw two men on foot around 20 minutes after the break-in and were in possesion property believed to be stolen from the store, the two men are now in police custody.

“Although two men are in custody on suspicion of burglary, the inquiry continues and other persons are sought. It is essential that anyone who saw the smash-and-grab, or the suspects making off, contact us as soon as possible,” DS Nathan Tozer of Westminster CID said.
