Police are appealing for witnesses after a robbery at a family-run west London jewellers. <\/p>\n

Two balaclava-wearing burglars took a sledgehammer to the front window of Gregory & Co in Richmond at around 10.30am on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The pair bundled as much jewellery as they could from the front window into a bag before making off on foot.<\/p>\n

A vehicle believed to have been used in the robbery has been recovered and is being examined as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n

The suspects, however, are still at large.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Craig Knight, who leads the Met’s neighbourhood policing in Richmond, said: “Officers are working at pace to identify and locate the men who carried out this robbery.<\/p>\n
