Published on 28/06/10

A man has been convicted of taking part in the UK's biggest jewellery robbery.

Aman Kassaye, 25, used a gun to force a shop worker at Graff Diamonds in Mayfair, central London, to hand over gems valued at £40m last August.

Kassaye has been found guilty of conspiracy to rob, kidnapping and possession of a firearm.

The jury at Woolwich Crown Court have been sent home and are considering verdicts on six other defendants, who all deny charges over the robbery.

They are due back in court at 1000 BST on Monday.
