Police appeal over teens' jewellery store axe raid
Police in Munich are appealing for help following a raid at the start of February on an upmarket jewellery store, allegedly by axe-wielding teens believed to be linked to the Pink Panther burglary gang.
Seven people were arrested after the raid at 11am on Wednesday February 12th in the Chopard store on Maximilianstraße.
But police said in a statement on Tuesday they now had doubts over the youths’ age and details.
They have released photos of four of the suspects and are appealing for help to find out if anyone knows where the people photographed were between February 1st and February 12th.

Anyone with information should contact police on 089 2910-0.
