Armed Robbery in West Road

I was made aware of an appalling incident in West Road yesterday. At around 09:30 two men wearing balaclava's, armed with crowbars, entered Andrews Jewellers stealing Diamond Rings and other jewellery items. Fortunately nobody was injured.

According to the Southend CDRP website, the two men then walked out and got into a waiting blue Citroen Picasso which was parked near to the vet surgery on Richmond Avenue. This vehicle was recovered near Thorpe Bay Yacht Club on Barrow Sands a short time later.

According to the Police, they believe the two men transferred to a Saloon car. As well as looking for witnesses to the robbery, the Police are keen to hear from people who saw the Blue Picasso yesterday morning before and after the robbery and anyone who saw the men drive off in the transfer car near the Yacht Club.

If anyone has any information which could help the police and put the offenders behind bars, please contact detectives at Southend Police Station on 101.
