Detectives are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man following a high value watch robbery in Croydon.
The offence occurred on Thursday, 13 April at around 17:20hrs in Grosvenor Road, SE25.
The victim, aged in his 70s, was approached by a male as he got into his car. The suspect punched the victim repeatedly and stole his Rolex watch.
Detective Constable Stephen Chubb of the Met’s South Area Command said: “I am very keen to hear from anyone who can identify the male in the picture, but I would also like to speak with anyone who has been offered the watch for sale.
“Being the victim of a violent robbery has a lasting effect that goes far beyond a loss of property – if you can help us find the person responsible please do the right thing and get in touch.”
