LONDON - Thieves behind one of Britain’s biggest jewel heists abandoned an initial robbery attempt two days before the crime, police said.
The Metropolitan Police on Saturday released security camera images of the suspects outside Graff Diamonds in London’s Bond Street two days before the Aug. 6 robbery.
Detective Chief Inspector Pam Mace says police believe it was “more than just a practice run, and that they were planning on committing the robbery on Aug. 4.”
Police said they do not know why the heist was postponed.
Two well-dressed men walked into the store Aug. 6 armed with handguns and stole dozens of rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches with a retail value of $65 million.
A $1.65 million reward has been offered for their capture.
The same store lost jewelry worth 23 million pounds, or $38 million, in 2003 when it was robbed by Nebojsa Denic, a Kosovar Serb and a member of the notorious gang of Balkan robbers known as “the Pink Panthers.” Denic was caught and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Britain’s Press Association news agency quoted an unnamed police source as saying that the Pink Panthers were unlikely to have been behind the latest raid.

Balkans’ Pink Panther jewel thieves smash their way into myth
Members of the unglamorous gang, which has hit boutiques in Paris, London and Dubai, are heroes to some in their war-ravaged native Serbia. ‘I hope you rob the U.S. Federal Reserve,’ one fan writes.
eporting from Belgrade, Serbia - So let’s get this straight. A guy in the raspberry business from western Serbia smashes and grabs his way through a heist eight time zones away in Tokyo and scoots off past shopping centers and sushi bars with a $31-million necklace known as the Countess of Vendome.
It happens.
Djordjije Rasovic graced arrest warrants, a thief with brazen nerves, part of an international Balkan crime gang known as the Pink Panthers. He and one of his accomplices, Snowy, another name too whimsical for the harsh impulses of the former Yugoslavia, brought a bit of high jinks to a land haunted by war criminals and atrocities.”
Serbs have been in the US for the last 150 years without causing even 1/10th of the problems that the Albanians and Bosnian Muslims have caused in the last 15 years. Go to "America's Most Wanted" and run a search. I used the keywords "Serb", Serbia" and came up with nothing. I ran the word, "Albania" and came up with 6 names.
The Serbian Mafia's reach doesn't make it much past Europe. But the Albanian mafia has a global reach. The Albanian & Bosnian jihadists who used the US as a safe haven, have often turned on us. We opened Pandora's box, when we invited them in. Now it is Americans who are on the defensive in their own homeland against these lunatics.
