Fans of the British spy with a license to kill will be shaken and stirred to hear that five pistols used by Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan in several James Bond flicks have been stolen in north London.
Among the “irreplaceable” pieces swiped from a collector’s home was an iconic Walther PPK that Moore used in “A View to a Kill” and a pair of Berettas brandished by Brosnan in “Die Another Day,” the Guardian reported.
Police responded Monday night to a burglary in progress at a property in Enfield, but by the time they arrived, the suspects had sped off in a silver vehicle with the deactivated firearms, which are worth about $125,000.
The suspects were described as three white men with Eastern European accents.
The other stolen handguns are a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum from Moore’s 1973 outing as 007 in “Live and Let Die” and a .22-caliber Llama from “Die Another Day.”
“The firearms are very distinctive and bespoke to particular Bond movies. They will almost certainly be recognized by the public and to anyone offered them for sale,” Detective Inspector Paul Ridley said, according to the newspaper.
“Many are irreplaceable. The Magnum is the only one ever made in which the whole gun is finished in chrome,” he added.
“A View to a Kill” marked Moore’s last appearance as Bond in 1985, while Brosnan last played the suave spook in 2002’s “Die Another Day.”
