Inside the violent world of London’s luxury watch thieves | BBC News


More than £50m worth of watches were reported stolen in London, UK in 2022, according to a Metropolitan Police FOI.

In the first six months of 2023 alone, 3,190 watches were reported stolen in the capital according to the Met – with a fifth of the thefts involving violence against the victim.

With many luxury watches having serial numbers on them – making them easy to trace – it is known that a lot of the timepieces make it out of the country to places such as Paris, Romania and Dubai.

In a BBC Three documentary, journalist Tir Dhondy explores the underground world of luxury watch thefts and how the gangs operate.
