Two thieves who carried out Britain's biggest ever jewellery heist may have hidden their faces with elaborate rubber masks, it was reported today.
The pair were said to have hired a professional make-up artist to disguise themselves with liquid latex in the hours before they escaped with a £40m-haul from the exclusive Graffs jewellers' in Mayfair, London.
The 29-year-old make-up artist believed he was transforming them for a pop video and altered their hair colour and skin tone in a four-hour session that cost £450, according to the Sun.
