Officers attended the premises following reports of a smash-and-grab raid in progress in the early hours of yesterday morning. The responding officers found a silver Ford Transit van, which had been driven into the front of the shop and abandoned there, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police confirmed on its website. Reports taken at the scene suggested that “a number of suspects” had entered the shop and removed goods, the value of which is not known at this time, before fleeing on mopeds.
Although the Vuitton store has not been targeted since 2014, Gucci’s Sloane Street flagship fell foul of raiders in 2015, following a raft of similar crimes the previous year with stores including Chanel and Valentino being targeted by a smash-and-grab gang who then fled on mopeds.
No arrests have been made as yet, and those with any pertinent information are asked to contact detectives at Kensington and Chelsea on 101, or to contact police on Twitter via @MetCC.
