British Transport Police (BTP) officers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two men captured in CCTV images in connection with a robbery incident. The incident took place at approximately 6am last Thursday 27 July when a 70-year-old man noticed two individuals following him onboard a Tube train. The journey began at the Northern Line, Embankment station, and continued on to the District Line until the man alighted at Blackfriars.
The two suspects persistently followed the man, and even when he took the lift to exit the station, they joined him. It was during this time in the lift that the suspects confronted the man and demanded his watch. Without hesitation, they snatched the watch from him before hastily fleeing through the station barriers.
