Appeal for information following violent watch robbery

Detectives are appealing for information after a woman had her designer watch stolen in a violent robbery in front of her children.

Police were called at 22:47hrs on Sunday, 21 July to reports of a robbery outside St Pancras International Station, in Euston Road, N1.

The victim, aged in her 40s, was approached from behind by three men who then pushed her to the ground and forcibly removed her Richard Mille watch, worth about £185,000, in front of her three children.

Sergeant Max Pennington, from the Central North area's Local Investigations team, said: “This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim and her three children and we are committed to finding the perpetrators.

“I’d be keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen the robbery, or the suspects running off. I’d also like to hear from anyone who may have been offered a Richard Mille watch within the last couple of days.

“Any information you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence. Alternatively you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Anyone with information can call police on 101 or message @MetCC on X quoting CAD 7902/21Jul.

Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
