Friday, 11 July 20143 min read

London’s Dorchester Hotel has been targeted by smash-and-grab robbers for the second time in four weeks.

According to the Metropolitan Police, a gang of six men on three mopeds pulled up outside the five-star hotel in the early hours of Thursday morning and smashed their way through the front door.

They broke into display cabinets and stole watches and jewellery.

The hotel was targeted in exactly the same way on June 10 in what police called a "well-planned" heist.

No arrests have been made in connection with either incident.
