High-end clothing shop Prada on Old Bond Street was sensationally robbed on Wednesday night.


Robbery at Prada on Bond Street London


The store - situated in the prestigious district of Mayfair, opposite Gucci and in the proximity of London clubs Funky Buddha, Mahiki and HeyJo - is the flagship premises in London for the Italian fashion label.

The robbery appeared to have been a simple smash and grab that left the glass from the front door of the boutique shattered and scattered across the street as cold winter weather gripped the October night.

Police officers at the scene of the crime appeared to be clueless although no doubt they will announce investigations are ongoing at some stage on Thursday.
