Robbers stole nearly £40m of items from a London jewellers in what police say was Britain's second biggest robbery.
Two men with handguns threatened staff at Graff jewellers in New Bond Street on 6 August before taking 43 items.
They dragged a female member of staff outside as they left the shop and fired a shot, although no-one was injured.
CCTV images of the two men have been issued. The £40m haul is exceeded only by the £53m raid on a Securitas depot in Kent in 2006, a Met spokesman said.

How can a jewellery shop with 40mil, not have decent security?
