POLICE are hunting for a man wanted in connection with a Samurai sword robbery at a Bournemouth jewellers.
Officers from the Met Police's Operation Venice, which specifically focuses on moped-enabled crime, are calling for help to track down Kalan Williamson, who is 26 and lives in Beaufort Street, Chelsea, London.
He is currently wanted by the Met for a commercial robbery at a jewellers in Wimbledon on September 12 2018 and a commercial burglary at a clothes shop in Wimbledon on December 6 2018. Dorset Police want to speak with Williamson in connection with a "violent commercial robbery" at Franses Jewellers in Westover Road on Thursday, March 14.
Chief Inspector Jim Corbett, of Operation Venice, said: “Anyone with information should contact police immediately on 101 quoting reference 897/11Apr.
"If you are this person, I would suggest handing yourself in to the nearest police station sooner rather than later.”
At the time of the robbery, police said a number of men on two mopeds and a motorbike were involved. One of the men used a Samurai sword to keep members of the public away.
