Another smash-and-grab robbery, in Richmond?

Just walked past at lunchtime today what seemed to be the scene of a smash-and-grab robbery in Richmond.

This comes right after the one at Westfields this week and is the last one of a series of audacious heists in London over the past months.

Today's schocking attempt was at Courlanders, in George street, the last ones in Richmond were in Paved Court.

The Beeb reports that a new crime map has been launched.

From the Met web site, it looks really good (see picture).

However, upmystreet.com reports more burglaries than the national average -so all is not rosy:
