An armed robber, along with his three accomplices, have been jailed in England after raiding a jewelry story dressed as a Muslim woman, in a burqa, the Daily Mail reported Sunday. The robber rang the bell of the store in the British town of Burnley posing as a female customer, but as he was let in by the staff, his three accomplices forced their way in wielding a rifle, a sword and a baseball bat. The four robbers began smashing up display cases and managed to steal over $47,000 worth of jewelry. According to the Daily Mail, the robber clad in the burqa pulled out a sword to threaten the staff with as he stuffed a bag full of jewels. Video footage from security cameras appeared as the four robbers were sentenced to a combined 42 years in prison after the pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery. However none of the four were willing to admit to wearing the burqa and police said also they were unsure of who was the sword wielding “woman.”
