A London jeweller said there was a “big chance” that diamonds worth millions of euros were snatched by thieves from a vault in the city over the weekend.<br /><br />Muhammad Almaf said he was not the only one living in fear of having valuable items stolen. <br /><br />“It’s a big shock – not only for me – for the whole people who (are) here actually,” said Almaf. “Because you cannot expect such a thing to happen in such a secure place actually.”<br /><br />Heavy cutting equipment is thought to have been used to break into a vault containing safety deposit boxes in Hatton Garden, considered London’s diamond district.<br /><br />The same area was hit in 1987 when armed robbers made off with around 80 million euros’ worth of jewels.
