Police release images of claw hammer suspects who allegedly drove off with safe still attached to table
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.
They threatened the attendant when he denied knowledge of the safe’s code.
One of the suspects then ripped the table attached to the safe away from the wall, and loaded it into the vehicle outside.
