There's a pattern here methinks - Calumet have had a big break in not long ago, as did another dealer whose name escapes me.

The culprits are understood to have also broken into a nearby optometrists shop before fleeing on mopeds.




They obviously needed glasses for their CBT. I hope they had their 'L' plates on.

If their haul was limited to memory cards, Jessops might be able to replace the £16,000 worth of stock with a couple of hundred quid's worth from 7dayshop.

Sigma were 'turned over' a couple of times - last year I think.

I can't help but think the crooks would have got a lot more kit for £16,000 if they'd been robbing almost anywhere else ...
