SAFERGEMS - update -

摘要

Nearly midway through 2015, we continue to see a significant increase in the number of attacks against the industry, with recent robberies and smash and grab raids at jewellery and pawnbroker stores in Mersey side and Greater Manchester. Lee Henderson of SaferGems reports. To date SaferGems has recorded 50 robberies/smash and grab raids. High value watches, in particular Rolex, remain the most sought-after items with approximately 3 million pounds worth stolen since January this year. The North West and North East regions suffered the brunt of these attacks, with criminals from the Greater Manchester area being continually linked to offences across the two regions.
