Burglars attempted to break into one of central London<\/a>\u2019s most upmarket auction houses that flogs jewellery and art, the police told Metro.<\/p>\n

The suspected aggravated burglary at Phillips on Berkeley Square, Mayfair, happened in the early hours this morning. <\/p>\n

Photographs show one of the gallery\u2019s glass doors shattered and lying on the pavement, with a blue Mercedes parked just outside. <\/p>\n

The vehicle has visible dents, with one of the headlights damaged. <\/p>\n

Police have been unable to confirm if anything was stolen.<\/p>\n

A witness said they saw the gallery had been taped off, with forensics teams on the scene. <\/p>\n
