A patrolman disturbed three jewel thieves on the premises of Edward Christopher, Ltd., jewelers of Hendon, early the other morning. The police officer heard the smashing of glass and hastened to the jewelry store where he saw the thieves removing jewelry from a window. They jumped into a waiting automobile on catching sight of the officer, the car later being found abandoned in North London. Although the trio was interrupted in its work of clearing out the trim some £500 worth of rings and watches are missing.

MALLETT & SONS

New Bond Street, London


Nearly $25,000 worth of diamond rings was stolen as the result of a daring jewelry store raid in New Bond St. the other day, motor bandits in a powerful automobile smashing the windows of Mallett & Sons, famous dealers in antiques and priceless jewelry, and getting away with a couple of handfuls of the rings, one or two of which were dropped in the street. Fashionable Bond St. was full of shoppers at the time of the robbery, the audacity of which enabled the bandits to make their get-away. An exciting chase followed by police, but the jewel thieves abandoned their car up a side street during a traffic jam and escaped in a taxi-cab. Eye-witnesses of the robbery said great force was used on the window and a gaping hole was left in the plate glass. One of the dropped rings worth $1,000 was returned to the shop by a man who refused to give his name and address. Messrs. Mallett say the rings were worth around $1,000 to $1,500 each, and that about 20 of them are missing.

PHILIP ROBINSON & Co.

51, Hatton Garden, London


In speaking of the dissolution of the old firm of Ph. Robinson & Co., 51 Hatton Garden, London, England, a note in the news letter from England in the issue of Jan. 13, contained several typographical errors, misspelling the name of the senior partner, William Lurcott, and also that of James Lurcott and the two sons of the former, D. R. and D. C. Lurcott, all of whom are associated in business with him in the firm of William Lurcott & Co., who continue the business of the old firm.

Source: The Jewelers' Circular - 10th February 1909

Many of his friends in the jewelry trade of New York were grieved to learn recently of the death on Oct. 25 of William Lurcott, of London. Mr. Lurcott was one of the most widely known men in the diamond and pearl trade of London, and had an international reputation as an expert. He had been in the business all his life, having started as a boy with the firm of Philip Robinson & Co., growing up with the business and finally becoming a partner. He was head of the firm for a number of years before starting in business for himself under his own name. Throughout his entire career, he devoted himself to the diamond trade, but of recent years specialized in pearls, becoming one of the best known pearl dealers of London. Associated with him in his business are his brothers and sons, who will continue it.

WHITEAVES

Fleet Street, London


Shop-breaking — A daring robbery was perpetrated yesterday morning, in the shop of Mr. Whiteaves, jeweller and silversmith, in Fleet Street. The thieves forced up the iron grating in front of the house, thrust a boy through the aperture, and then closed the grating again. The boy entered the kitchen, and opened the front door to his companions. The party broke open a great many drawers, rifled them of old-fashioned gold and silver coins of considerable value, cleared the shop of watches, and added to the booty jewellery to a great amount, together with a parcel of sovereigns and double sovereigns. The family of Mr. Whiteaves slept in the upper part of the house, but were not aroused by any noise : every thing was done quietly, The thieves refrained from overloading themselves too, and left behind them a crow-bar, a centre-bit, a chisel, and a dark lantern.

W. HINDS & Co.

London


Although a determined effort to locate the room in which the most valuable jewelry was kept by W. Hinds & Co., north London jewelers, failed the other night, thieves practically emptied the window displays. The door of the steel shutters outside the store was forced with a “jimmy.” The door was then closed and the thieves worked on the inside against the glass and mahogany door of the shop. This was forced with brace and bit and “jimmy.” Trays and pads of jewelry in the displays were stripped, the loss being placed at $5,000. Cotton gloves were worn and discarded. While the thieves were at work many pedestrians passed by the shop. Scotland Yard says scouts were placed at various points to guard against surprise by police patrols.
