BRIEFLY... RAIDERS IN $800,000 GUCCI WATCH HAUL

London, United Kingdom
Thursday, 7 Dec 2000

LONDON, England -- A heavily-armed gang used a forklift to load 33 boxes of Gucci watches into a truck in a brazen robbery in the English capital last week.

This Is London reported the gang of six stormed a shipping warehouse and threatened staff with guns before blindfolding and gagging them.

The robbers then used a forklift to load a 7.5-tonne truck and made their getaway. The newspaper said the gang struck early in the morning, when the warehouse doors were raised for morning deliveries.
