A WATERLOO Court jeweller valiantly fended off hammer and knife-wielding robbers for the second time during an attempted raid on his shop on Wednesday.

David Mellor, of David Mellor & Sons, bravely blocked the door to the shop to prevent the offenders gaining entry as they tried to smash the window to their luxury watch cabinet from outside.
