Three men jailed following investigation into high-value watch robberies

Three men have been jailed following a Met Police investigation into a series of high-value watch robberies in central London. Met detectives used CCTV to identify the group of violent repeat offenders who carried out two robberies on consecutive days. The Met is focused on reducing the number of robberies taking place on the streets of London by targeting robbery hotspots with increased patrols. This action prevents and deters robberies from taking place, as we work to identify, apprehend and deter potential offenders. In this case, detectives tenaciously recovered and viewed hours of CCTV footage to link one vehicle and offenders to the three robberies, discovering the offenders had conducted surveillance on members of the public to identify their victims.
