A robber in drag is one of seven men being hunted by police after £460,000 of gold trinkets was stolen from an east London jewellers.
The gang robbed family-run Lasani Jewellers in Newham on November 21 and attacked a customer with a sledgehammer used to smash display cabinets.
The man visited the shop two days before the raid wearing a dark wig and long black coat.
All seven suspects are described as white and those who weren't in drag wore hats and scarves.
Police are yet to make any arrests.
