At around 12.40pm on Thursday 9 March 2023 a man entered Christchurch Jewellers in Saxon Square and asked to look at two high-value watches – a Rolex valued at £12,000 and a TAG watch valued at £1,000.

The man grabbed both watches and pushed a member of staff out of the way before leaving the store. The member of staff sustained minor injuries.

Detective Constable Evelyn Ahmadi, of Bournemouth CID, said: “We are conducting a number of enquiries into this robbery, and we have obtained a CCTV image of a man we would like to identify.

“I would urge anyone with information relating to his identity to please contact us.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who has come across a Rolex or TAG watch being offered for sale online or locally in suspicious circumstances.”
