Two men charged over £1m jewel raid

TWO men have been arrested and charged in connection with one of Scotland's biggest ever jewellery heists in which armed robbers got away with diamond necklaces, rings and watches worth £1 million from a jeweller.

Two raiders struck at Rox in Edinburgh, which opened four months ago in a event attended by rapper Labrinth.

The robbers, one said to have been armed with a gun and the other with an axe, smashed display cabinets before seizing items worth up to £100,000 each.
