The grey BMW was ditched by four masked men after they made off from the high street shop
A stolen car used by masked men who raided a Llandudno jewellers has been found abandoned by police.
The grey BMW was ditched by the four men, who were armed with machetes, in an alleyway close to Ysgol Dyffryn in the seaside resort.
The vehicle - registration plate FE54 UGL - had been stolen ahead of the robbery, and North Wales Police want to speak to anyone who may have seen it.
Police believe it was ditched in the alleyway between 2.25pm and 3.10pm.
Armed officers swooped on another BMW yesterday, believing it may have been involved in the robbery, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
No one was hurt in the daylight raid at Gregory's jewellers in Llandudno , but the robbers made off with expensive watches and other stock.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Chris Bell at St Asaph CID said: "An investigation is well underway with detectives interviewing key witnesses and studying CCTV.
"Initial enquiries indicated offenders left the scene in a grey BMW and this resulted in the recovery of a 5 series BMW in an alleyway close to Ysgol Dyffryn which is just off Trinity Avenue in Llandudno.
"The Reg No. displayed, which was recently stolen, is FE54 UGL and I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen this vehicle and its occupants at any time yesterday but particularly when it was apparently abandoned sometime between 2.25pm and 3.10pm.
“A number of witnesses have already come forward and together with other the members of the public caught up in yesterday events I’d like to thank them for their assistance and patience in the immediate aftermath and subsequent Police attendance.
"Fortunately no-one was injured, but this was clearly a very distressing incident for staff and the public and therefore any information that may lead to the offenders apprehension and prosecution will be eagerly received”
Anyone with information relating to the incident is asked to contact North Wales Police and quote RC 16180656.
