Shocking footage has emerged of the armed robbery at the jewelry store of ITV star Ian Towning, who appeared on the famous television shows "Dickinson's Real Deal" and "Posh Pawn."
In the incident that took place in March, robbers James Dixon and Thomas Loring brutally attacked Towning and security guard Mark Simmons. The footage shows the two attackers entering the store with hammers and striking Towning with a hammer, causing him to fall to the ground.
After the incident at the antique shop in Chelsea, London, Towning stated that he has not felt safe for eight months. The attackers smashed glass displays and stole jewelry and antique items worth thousands of pounds.
42-year-old Dixon and 41-year-old Loring were found guilty of a series of violent robberies and thefts carried out in London and the surrounding area this year. Towning described the devastating impact of the attack on his life: "This incident has destroyed me. I haven't been able to sleep properly since that day, and I am constantly on edge. I am now even afraid to walk on the street."
Flying Squad detectives described Dixon as "a bomb ready to explode at any moment." The detained duo will receive their sentences in the new year. The investigating team stated that the pair had previously been convicted of similar crimes and had served time in the same prison.
The attackers were caught after stealing £8,745 from a post office worker in Southeast London. Dixon was apprehended while shopping at luxury brand stores with the stolen money. Detectives revealed that the duo is part of an organized crime group and had committed crimes together in the past.
