This is the moment passers-by fled as a man set off smoke grenades in an attempt to steal £190,000 worth of jewels from London’s iconic Claridge’s Hotel.
Clad in a balaclava and crash helmet, Jay McGinty, 37, arrived the hotel in Mayfair on a Vespa scooter and set down a smoke grenade, covering a hallway in thick black smoke, before attempting to break into a jewellery cabinet with a sledgehammer in March this year.
