Waltham Chase man, 86, injured in daylight robbery that saw two women steal his Rolex watch

Police are investigating the incident that took place at 11am yesterday in the Hampshire village.

The victim, an 86-year-old man, was on Bull Lane when two women he did not know approached him before forcibly stealing his Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch from his wrist.

The pensioner suffered minor injuries.

The suspects ran off towards Clewers Lane, and police believe they arrived and left the area in a small blue car.

A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘The two women are described as white women in their mid 20s, both around 5ft 3in tall with slim builds, wearing white face masks, and spoke with an Eastern European accent.

‘One of the women had short neck length dark brown hair.

‘Were you in the area at the time? Perhaps you saw two women matching this description in the area, or have doorbell/dash cam footage that may have captured them?’

Anyone with information is asked to phone the police on 101 and quote reference number 44210267373.
