"Certainly, sir,” said one of the assistants.

"Then stick 'em up," said the gunman.

The assistants, their arms the air, were forced into the back room, tied up and gagged.

Then proprietor Roy Johnson ar- rived. He was just as expeditious- ly dealt with.

Mr. Lansbury went into break- fast, and the bandits hurriedly col- lected their £1,200 of jewels and departed. Mr. Johnson revealed later that they overlooked another selection of jewellery worth £46,000.
