Burglars used Google map to steal

Burglars may have used Google Street View to raid a millionaire bank boss’s secluded mansion and steal £100,000 worth of jewellery.

Thieves broke into the home of Robin Bowie, founder of investment bank Dexion Capital, after apparently gaining intimate knowledge of the layout of his sprawling property.
They stole a hidden safe which they carted away in a wheelbarrow before making off in a silver-coloured saloon-style car just as Mr Bowie’s wife Sally, 51, arrived home at 7.30pm on January 10.

The safe held a haul of expensive jewellery and several thousand pounds in cash.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Melanie Fisher, of Leicestershire Police, said: 'The victims have been left upset at the loss of their family jewellery and are keen to do everything possible to ensure the return of their property.
