They already think they know where the suspects live? I'd like to know how Dr. Holmes sleuthed that one so quickly.
Elementary, I guess. They just look "londony":

Graff Diamonds £40 million jewellery robbery is Britain's biggest gem heist
A £40 million raid on Graff Diamonds, the Mayfair jewellers, is thought to be the biggest ever gems heist in Britain.
Richard Edwards 11 Aug 2009
Scotland Yard have issued CCTV images of two men dressed in suits, concealing handguns, who escaped with 43 rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches from the central London store last week.
They threatened staff at Graff’s with handguns, briefly seized a woman employee as a hostage, and fired warning shots as they made a getaway in a series of cars.
The two men, thought to be Londoners, arrived in a taxi at 4.40pm on August 6 and were only in the New Bond Street jewellers for a matter of minutes.
After being let in through the security doors both men produced handguns and threatened staff. They selected a total of 43 items and placed them into a bag before briefly seizing a woman employee hostage.
She was taken outside but released when the raiders made their getaway in a blue BMW, having fired a warning shot above their heads.
Their escape was nearly foiled when the car crashed into a black cab in Dover Street. As the driver and punters from a nearby pub gave chase, one of the men fired another round into the ground to warn them off.
The men then switched to a silver Mercedes, and later again into a black vehicle, possibly a Ford Galaxy or VW Sharan.
It is suspected that the jewels, meanwhile, were transferred to a waiting motorcyclist who was able to escape quickly.

This is nonsense. There are no handguns in the UK.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if the British government - and the British media - focused more attention on the hundreds of muggings, break-ins, home robberies, and beatings/stabbings that are taking place every week, and less attention on some high-profile gem theft.
In embracing PC “society is to blame” waffling and in stripping the populace of the means for self-defense, the government - ANY government - throws its people to the wolves and engenders and enhances the very environment of rampant crime it seeks to eliminate.
Although the English are clearly governed by morons - and although they are morons to put up with it - even a moron will evolve the will to fight back if you hit him upside the head long enough and hard enough. Perhaps, some day, even the morons in Great Britain will evolve this will.
Don’t hold your breath.
The U.S. is not far behind. The MSM, the schools, and colleges with their agenda of left-wing indoctrination have taken over the nation with the support of Hollywood and a counter-culture that thrashes Christianity and advances multi-culturalism and ethnic diversity as sacred cows. This was the precusor social climate to today’s UK and its now happening here. The Gay & Lesbian Agenda, the tribalization of the judiciary, the unions (especially the teachers’ unions) and a MSM that has lost its purpose are the visible signs of a country going over the precipice.
Yes, I agree. But at least we have access to the means of self-defense (for now).
Probably by their accents.
Have a chip!
