Hackney police have released images of two suspects who allegedly threatened a Shoreditch car park attendant with a claw hammer, before driving off with a safe – attached to a table – hanging out of their boot.
The robbery took place at EC2 Car Park in King John Court, Shoreditch, at around 6.40pm on Thursday October 11.
The suspects demanded money from a safe located in a cabin in the car park.

One of the suspects then ripped the table attached to the safe away from the wall, and loaded it into the vehicle outside.
Police want to talk to anyone who saw the suspects loading up the car, or driving around with the boot open and table hanging out.
