Ram-raiders Smash Into Yves Saint Laurent Shop And Steal Handbags ⁘Worth Thousands*

Ram-raiders ransacked an Yves Saint Laurent store in London and escaped with a haul of bags and other luxury items during a dawn raid.

They ploughed a black SUV car into the Bond Street shop front before running inside and plundering thousands of pounds of stock earlier today.

Metro understands that a number of 'high value items' were stolen at around 3am by three unarmed raiders, who then fled the scene separately.

The raid in the early hours of Friday was the second time in two months the luxury store, located in one of the capital's shopping destinations, had been targeted. 

Earlier this week, a Rolex store in Knightsbridge was raided by robbers armed with machetes. They crashed a motorbike through the front door before fleeing with tens of thousands of pounds worth of watches. 

He said: 'They came this time in the early hours and escaped with some stuff we are assessing what they took now. They crashed through the shutters with a car.

A security guard at a business opposite said: 'We are on high alert but there's only so much you can do. They targeted YSL recently it's scary the risks these robbers will take.'.
