Detectives investigating Thursday morning’s robbery at Magnum Jewellers have confirmed that the suspects were using a stolen vehicle which was then burnt out.

The vehicle, a grey coloured Rav 4 registered number Q4689, was stolen from Seaside Way, Bodden Town, sometime between 9.00pm  last night and 6.10am this morning.

Following the Cardinall Avenue robbery, which was reported at 11.20 am today, the car was found burnt out in Wahoo Close, George Town.
