Appeal for man who punched 70-year-old and stole his Rolex
The Met are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man following an assault and high value watch robbery.
On April 13 at around 5.30pm in Grosvenor Road, South Norwood, the victim was approached by a man 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.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting 5627/13APR.
To remain anonymous call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit Crimestoppers-uk.org.
