£30K Diamond Cartier Watch Snatched: E-Fit Released

Police are hunting a robber, who snatched a £30,000 diamond-encrusted Cartier watch from a pensioner in west London.

This e-fit of the suspect has been released in the hope of tracking him down.

Officers were called to Ledbury Gardens, Notting Hill on July 31, last year after the 69-year-old man was set upon at approximately 7.55pm. 



An unknown man approached him and began to make references about football.

He began shouting "Barcelona, Barcelona" at him, then grabbed his wrist and tried to remove the watch. 



A struggle between the pair ensued and the suspect pushed the victim and stole his watch.



The victim was not injured.



He is described as 6ft tall, aged approximately 25 years-old, with a Middle Eastern accent, short, dark brown or black hair and clean shaven.



He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt with a white swirl on it.

Anyone with information or witnesses to the incident are asked to call the police non-emergency line on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
