A lift engineer stole £103,000 worth of gems to fund his drug habit while servicing a £7million property in Belgravia.

Jacques Woods, 25, was part of a team servicing the 8,000 square feet home on West Eaton Place, which boasts a high-speed modern lift.

He took two luxury watches and a designer ring before cleaners caught him wandering into the bedrooms, which were off limits to staff on June 28, 2021.

Police were called, and officers later found photos of the stolen items on his phone.

The haul included a silver-and-gold Rolex, an opaline-and-gold Patek Philippe 715, and a Cartier Love Ring in white and rose gold.
