Witness appeal following ram raid in West Byfleet

We are appealing for witnesses after a suspected stolen vehicle was used to ram raid a jewellers in West Byfleet yesterday (Wednesday, 29 January).

Officers were called to Old Woking Road at 1.15pm following reports of a car reversing repeatedly into front of Brooklands Jewellers, and three men wearing face coverings getting out and stealing a number of high value items from the front window display.

A 44-year-old man, a 38-year-old man, and a 29-year-old man have all been arrested on suspicion of burglary, robbery, and various driving offences. They are all currently in police custody.

We are looking to speak to any witnesses or anyone with photo or video footage that could have captured all or part of this incident. Images and videos can be uploaded here: Ram Raid at Brooklands Jewellers | SERIP Investigate | Community Portal
