A Romanian gang who were caught tunnelling into a jewellery shop after they were linked to a spree of burglaries worth more than £700,000 have been jailed.
Ioan Asafeti, 39, Laurentiu-Daniel Nitisoara, 38, and Sergiu Plastin, 42, had stolen the goods after gaining access to Selvaraja Gold House in Mitcham Road, Tooting, in May.

Police body-worn footage showed police discovering a hole in the wall of what appears to be a shower room inside the massage parlour.
