The raiders made off with two luxury watches – a Rolex Lady-Datejust in Oystersteel yellow gold and a Breitling Galactic 29 – plus a jewellery box brimming with precious items.

Victim’s Emotional Plea and Police Call for Witnesses
“This has had a significant impact on my life – I have been unable to return to work and have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder,” the victim said. “I would urge anyone with any information to do the right thing and come forward. These men need locking up to stop them hurting others.”
PC Jonathan Stephenson, leading the investigation, added: “This was a horrific crime that has left a lasting mark on the victim and her family. We are working hard to find the perpetrators. Someone out there knows who they are – please come forward, no detail is too small.”
