The owner of a Cobham jewellers was assaulted by men wielding sledge hammers when he tried to stop his shop being targeted for the second time in three days.
Jewel’s of Cobham, in Holly Parade, part of High Street, was hit by two men on a motorbike at about 11.30am on Friday.
The raiders smashed the window of the jewellers with a sledge hammer, although it is not clear whether they stole anything.
Surrey Police said when the shop owner tried to stop the attack, he was assaulted.
They dumped the motorbike in nearby Hogshill Lane, a one-way road leading to a dead-end in residential side streets.
On Tuesday last week, four men on two motorbikes tried to smash through the front of the jewellers but the window would not break.
A shop worker at Jewel’s on Monday morning declined to comment but said it was not the shop owner that was hurt in a fight outside the jewellers.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with information should contact Surrey Police on 0845 1252222, quoting reference EL/10/2640, or call Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
