POLICE have launched an appeal following a series of "high value" watch robberies in south London. 

The offences took place between May and July 2022.  

Officers say a victim is usually struck with an object before their watch is stolen. 

Detectives believe the offences are being committed by two to three people.

It is also believed 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.” 

Here is the list of offences:
