A “sophisticated” gang of thieves who used stolen 4x4s in a spate of “loud and aggressive” ram-raids across southern England have been jailed.
William Connors, 29, Darren Easthaugh, 36, Anthony Rodwell, 33, and Sebastian Gnyp, 37, struck jewellers across London and the home counties, reversing Land Rovers and Range Rovers through the front doors, storming the premises with sledgehammers and ankle grinders, and sometimes dragging out safes with metal chains attached to their vehicles.
