Burka-wearing raiders jailed for armed robbery at Dundee jewellers

(BBC) Three members of a gang who wore burkas as disguises during an armed robbery at a Dundee jeweller’s shop have been jailed.

Dean King, Anthony Wheeldon and Connor Willis were among the gang who targeted Walker the Jeweller in 2019.

A court heard that the men stole two Rolex watches worth £17,850 and caused £3,800 worth of damage.

King was jailed for nine years and two months, Wheeldon for 11 years, and Willis for 12 years.

A judge was earlier shown footage of King keeping the shop door open while accomplices, two of whom were dressed in full-length robes and face coverings, burst in.
