Armed robbers on motorbikes have stolen thousands of pounds worth of Rolex timepieces from the luxury watchmaker’s Knightsbridge boutique.
Police were called to the Bucherer Rolex Boutique at One Hyde Park at 10.53am today following reports a group of men wearing motorcycle helmets had barged in and threatened staff with weapons before stealing multiple items.
The burglars fled the scene on mopeds before police arrived just three minutes later.

Forensic officers can also be seen inspecting the crime scene and collecting evidence.
Meanwhile, the police have not yet made any arrests and the gang of thieves are still at large in the city.
The force is appealing for anyone with information that could help their investigation to come forward.
