Another Robbery in Kenilworth Centre!
For the second time in a few weeks a robbery has taken place at a jewellery store in Kenilworth Centre – a worrying new development as it hits very close to home. (My home is a few hundred metres away from KC!)
And I, as well as people close to me frequent KC on a regular – almost daily – basis.
The same as last time, the robbers entered the store as prospective buyers and then held up the shop assistants.
This time they escaped with a hired car!
Whether they hired the car (highly unlikely!) or stole it has not yet been established.
The location and layout of Kenilworth Centre makes it hard to imagine how robbers manage to escape so easily. The area usually has a large amount of slow moving traffic and there’s a set of traffic lights that takes forever to turn green.
What more, the place is usually teeming with security guards.
Not that security would phase would-be robbers. They world likely just shoot wildly at shoppers if cornered by security.
With summer holidays approaching, we can only hope police and Kenilworth Centre finds a way to manage this shocking new trend.
