Abu Hamza’s son jailed for his hand in armed robbery

Hamza’s son Imran Mostafa and Jonathon Abdul were filmed carrying out a smash and grab raid on Francis Wain jewellery shop in Kings Lynn by an off-duty local press reporter.

Mostafa and Abdul were found guilty of robbery and possessing a firearm, after two other men had already pleaded guilty to the same charges.

During the raid, in which £83,000 worth of gems were stolen, Eastern Daily Press reporter David Blackmore photographed the robbers as they fled the scene.

“Strolling along Norfolk Street just before 10am to go to the Post Office, I never in a million years could have predicted the situation I was about to find myself in,” Blackmore said on his blog.

“Just as I reached the Post Office, I noticed a silver Mercedes pull up outside Francis Wain jewellery shop and the driver put on his hazard lights. Then, in the blink of an eye, a gang of men in white hooded tops raced out of the vehicle and started smashing glass with sledgehammers before stealing items from the shop.”
