Detective Pam Mace hopes their released pictures will help someone come forward and give out information.
警探潘瑪斯希望他們發布照片後，有人能站出來提供線索。
[Pam Mace, Detective Chief Inspector]:
“Well as you’ve seen they are fairly distinctive men within the pictures. I’m hoping that someone’s gonna say I know who that is, and ring us and tell us who it is."
總探長潘瑪斯說：「如你所見，照片中的人特徵相當明顯。我希望有人認得他們，並打電話告訴我們他們的身分。」
The robbers fired a shot as they left the premises. The staff member held hostage was left outside the shop and no one was injured.
搶犯在離開該處時開了一槍。做為人質的店員被留在店外，沒有人受傷。
The raid is thought to be one of Britain’s biggest jewel robberies.

But this is not the first time that Graff Jewellers have been raided. Six years ago an eastern European crime gang did a diamond raid at this shop worth 38 million U.S. dollars.
