Bentley Flying Spur: the preferred choice for jewel thieves

Enlarge Photo

Thieves in west London robbed a jewelry store last month after arriving to the site in a hired Bentley Flying Spur. Security cameras captured video footage of the culprits, who were dressed as though there were enjoying a lavish holiday. One was wearing a Panama hat and dark blazer and the other was clad in a cream-colored suit.

The two walked up to staff before pulling out guns and stealing millions of dollars worth of jewelry, reports the BBC. Surprisingly, no one outside the store has come up to give details, despite the getaway car being so conspicuous.

After the heist, the crims got back into the chauffeur driven car and pulled away. This story reeks of the stereotype of two rich playboys robbing jewelry stores for excitement in their otherwise boring lives, but we suspect these are in fact your everyday offenders.
