A gang of motorcycle robbers smashed their way into a jewellery store containing valuable rings yesterday but were thwarted when courageous passers-by tackled them.
Five raiders carrying sledgehammers tried to break into Ernest Jones on Kensington High Street, West London around 10.40am.
But brave members of the public intervened and managed to corner one of the riders and hold him until police arrived.
“The bikes mounted the pavement and the guys with the sledgehammers jumped off and started trying to smash the windows of Ernest Jones,” said witness IT worker Ryan Shipley, according to the Daily Mirror.
Shipley said passers-by then started directing traffic to try to block the bikes. “It was surreal, very odd. It was really good how everyone chipped in,” he said.
