A vicious gang who targeted gambling machines in bookmakers and amusement arcades during a two-year robbery spree have been jailed for a total of 44 years.
Kingston Crown Court heard the 11-strong mob struck across London including businesses in Kilburn, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush, Kensal Rise, Notting Hill and Marylebone.
All 11 men admitted offences ranging from attempted theft and theft to robbery.
DCI Pam Mace from Barnes Flying Squad said: "I have no doubt that these individuals would have continued offending if they had not been caught."
