Euston: Woman robbed of £185K watch in front of children

A woman has had a watch worth £185,000 violently stolen from her in north London, in front of her three children.

The victim, in her 40s, was approached from behind by three men who pushed her to the ground and forcibly removed her Richard Mille watch.

Police were called at 22:47 BST on Sunday to reports of the robbery, outside St Pancras station, and are now urging witnesses to come forward.

Sgt 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.”

He added: “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.”
