In January last year, a couple had spent an afternoon admiring fine jewellery at the Victoria & Albert Museum before enjoying a lunch in a wealthy Kensington neighbourhood. They browsed an interior designers showroom and went window shopping before deciding to call it a day and head home.
Little did they know they were about to become the final victims of the ‘Rolex Rippers’, a group of knife-wielding thugs wreaking havoc in West London. Driving a BMW X5, three masked men would screech to halt and assault the couple while brandishing a 15-inch zombie knife and demanding their Tag Heuer and Rolex Ladies Datejust watches.
