Police are appealing for information relating to a linked series of high value watch thefts in London.
The series is comprised of 12 offences that all took place in London from May to July this year.
During these offences the victim was usually injured by being struck with an object, before their watch was stolen.
Detectives believe that the offences are being committed by two to three people, and that they are using a silver coloured Audi Q2 as their mode of transport.
Detective Inspector Vicky Allen of the Met’s Central South Command said: “We understand the impact of robbery on the victim and know that the effects can run far deeper than a loss of property or pride.
“Robbery is a violent crime and tackling violence in all its forms is a priority for us.
“We are determined to identify and apprehend these criminals – if you have any information please do the right thing and get in touch.”
