THIEVES who robbed a jewellery shop in Lakatamia in the early hours of yesterday did not even go to the bother of breaking in… they just drove a stolen car through the front of the shop. According to police, the robbery took place at around 3am when the car went smashing through the shop front. The alarm went off and the owner was alerted that the security system had been violated. The thieves had by then grabbed up all of the jewellery they could find and fled on foot, leaving the car behind, eyewitnesses told police. The value of the stolen goods was being estimated yesterday.
