Hampshire Police are appealing for information after a man in his 90s was robbed of his Rolex watch in the early hours of 10 October.

Anyone with information about the woman or who may have witnessed the incident is urged to contact Hampshire Police, quoting reference 44250459680. Reports can be made by calling 101 or online via the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website.
