Rolex Raider Gets Time


A smash-and-grab Rolex robber – left behind by his motorbike gang during a daring sledgehammer daylight raid – has been jailed for six-and-a-half years.
Luke Doyle, 27, (pictured) of Cleveland Road, Islington was caught after the four-strong gang smashed the windows of Fraser Hart Jewellers in the Bentall Centre, Kingston-upon-Thames.
He pleaded guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court to robbing the store of twelve Rolex watches on June 25.
It was 9.10am when the four robbers pulled up on two motorbikes outside the jewellers, using two sledgehammers to smash the windows and snatch the watches from the display.
Doyle ended up on foot and was arrested in shortly afterwards.
The rest of the gang are still wanted by the Flying Squad and some of the watches have been recovered.
Any witnesses or anyone that can assist police should call 020 8247 4804 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
