The gang the ruse to get into a jewellers in Manchester and steal more than ￡100,000 worth of gems
Armed with sledgehammers and machetes, the gang wore burkas to get into a jewellers in Manchester and steal more than ￡100,000 worth of gems.
Astonishing CCTV footage shows the pair walking towards Punjab jewellers in Wilmslow Road.
They are followed a few seconds later by an innocent member of the public and then two hooded accomplices a few yards behind them.
Once outside the business the men dressed in burka conned the owners into letting them in.
After getting into a lobby area the burka-clad robbers force up security shutters to allow their accomplices in and they get into the shop.
The video shows they are armed with machetes and an axe. They then calmly fill bags with top quality Asian gold including bracelets and necklaces.
The same method was used during a raid at an Aldi supermarket in Bolton which netted the gang ￡76,000.
In the Aldi raid in Bolton on June 29, 2015, shopper Mark Cooper tripped one of the gang as he ran off wearing a burka.
But two other robbers ran up and one used a machete to slash Mr Cooper across the shin, leaving a deep wound.
A judge ordered Mr Cooper should receive a reward for his efforts in trying to stop the raiders.
Gang leaders Christopher Ryder, 30, from Timperley and Michael Gabriel, 30, from Wythenshawe were jailed for 22 years and 21 years respectively.
