Riverdale Records: Jewel thiefs

During the floods I was working at a Jewler in Lewisham called ‘James Walker’. The water was above knee height and was making the shutters sway. We had to bring everything up onto the counter to save it from the water.  

We also had a robbery around that time on a Saturday. They had a gun and tied us up with rope and bound our mouths. We eventually escaped and called the police.
