This is the dramatic moment three masked men equipped with sledgehammers smashed the windows of Canterbury jeweller in a daring daylight raid.

The trio stole items worth £170,000 in a matter of minutes from Hadfield's in Castle Street on Saturday afternoon before making off in a stolen car which they later abandoned.

In your Kentish Gazette this week we have interviews with jewellers Rory and Margit Hadfield and the detective overseeing the investigation into the crime which is the talk of the city.

And we exclusively reveal what lines of inquiry the police are pursuing.

Your Kentish Gazette is out on Thursday.
