Imran Mostafa, the son of radical Islamic cleric Abu Hamza, has been convicted of an armed robbery at a jewellers in King's Lynn, Norfolk. The 20-year-old carried out the raid on 31 January with Jonathon Abdul, 17, stealing jewellery worth about £75,000.
Mostafa, of Deverills Way, Slough, denied robbery and possession of a firearm with intent but was found guilty at Norwich Crown Court. He will be sentenced at a later date along with Abdul, whose identity restrictions were lifted after the verdict.
The court heard how three men burst into Francis Wain on Norfolk Street, one armed with a firearm and another with a hammer used to smash display cabinets. A smoke bomb was set off to cause confusion. A fourth man waited in a getaway van.
Mostafa, a civil engineering student, claimed he was teaching Arabic and the Koran at a community centre in London at the time of the robbery. He told the jury: 'I am not a thief. I am not an armed robber.'
Two other men, Ossama Hamed, 19, and Ahmed Ahmed, 19, had previously admitted the same charges. The case is the latest involving Abu Hamza's family; another son, Yasser Kamel, was jailed in 2010 for violent disorder during anti-Israel riots.
