Insurer’s £1m reward for £40m robbery turns up leads

Metropolitan police officers have arrested two people in connection with the £40m robbery at Graff jewellers in central London, for which the insurers have offered a £1m reward, the Guardian reports.

DNA tests were carried out on masks that the robbers tried on in a theatrical studio but did not use.

One member of an organised crime gang who carried out the raid had been identified by DNA.

Last week officers arrested and questioned a 50-year-old man in Ilford, east London. He was released on bail.
