A JEWELLERS in The Chimes shopping centre in Uxbridge has been closed all day today (Wednesday) after an overnight smash and grab robbery.

Ernest Jones, which is located on the top floor of The Chimes is usually open between 9am and 6pm on a Wednesday but has been forced to close while police investigate the incident.

Police confirmed that a number of suspects broke into the Chimes at 12.50am by smashing a door before smashing a window of the jewellers and then taking a large quantity of jewellery and escaping.

It is unclear at this stage whether the store will be open tomorrow, but it is hoped that CCTV footage from The Chimes will assist police with their enquiries.
