Police appeal after victim has Rolex watch stolen

A victim had a Rolex watch stolen after two men took advantage of his drunken state in Manchester city centre.

In the early hours of Monday, December 30, 2024, two men encouraged their victim to go onto Marron Place where they started talking to him.

They grabbed the victim and started to dance around him. One offender started to undo the victim’s watch whilst the second man tripped the victim to the ground where a struggle ensued.

The offenders stole a Rolex watch valued at £6,000 from the victim’s wrist and ran off in opposite directions.

Police want to speak with the man pictured, to assist them with their investigation.
