The police are particularly keen to trace an Armani watch, as it is of sentimental value. It belonged to the victim’s son, who recently passed away.

It is described as having a large gold face with two smaller circles within it, and a large bevel on each side. It has a crocodile-effect leather strap.

The police would like to speak to anyone who may have been offered this watch for sale, or knows of its whereabouts. They would also urge anyone with CCTV that covers the surrounding area, who has not yet spoken to officers, to contact them.
