£23K Rolex Robbery Suspects Caught On CCTV

A Kensington fashion designer had her £23,000 Rolex Daytona watch ripped from her wrist after being followed home from a night out in Soho.

The 26 year-old victim, who had spent the evening at the notorious Box fetish club in Brewer Street and Jet Black nightclub in West Central Street, was robbed by two muggers.

She was pounced on from behind as she walked with a friend towards her home in Clareville Grove at 6.00am on November 3, last year – moments after exiting a mini cab.

Police from the Notting Hill Robbery Squad have released these CCTV images of two men they are hunting.

Detective Constable John Cahill believes the victim was followed after leaving the second club.

“It is here we believe the suspects first saw the victim and her friend by a mini-cab office as they left to go home at about 05:45hrs.”

One of the suspects grabbed the victim from behind, covering her mouth whilst his accomplice pulled the watch from her wrist.

The suspects then ran off towards Gloucester Road. 



DC Cahill added: “We believe the victim was targeted for her watch after being seen leaving the Jet Black nightclub and the suspects followed her to where the taxi dropped her and her friend off.



“This was an extremely nasty robbery and fortunately the victim did not sustain any serious injuries.



“I am appealing for anyone who recognises the men in the CCTV images which were taken from outside the Jet Black nightclub to contact police as we strongly believe these are the two who committed this robbery.”

Suspect One is described as being of Mediterranean/Arabic appearance, aged 25 to 30 years, of slim build with black hair. He was wearing a dark jacket with hood. 



Suspect Two is described as being of Mediterranean/Arabic appearance, aged 25 to 30 years, of slim build with short black hair. He was wearing a blue jacket.
