A 29-year-old man from Rochdale has been jailed for stealing two expensive watches from pawnbrokers, after asking to try on the luxury items before running away with them.
Johari Nazir Carter, also known as Graham Bagasan, stole a Cartier watch from a pawnbrokers on Yorkshire Street, Rochdale, on June 15 2021, asking members of staff to let him view the expensive item, before grabbing it and running away. The man, of Clock Tower Court, Rochdale, committed a similar theft in London.
There, he stole a Rolex from a pawnbrokers on Kingsland High Street, London, with the same trick, asking to see the luxury watch before sprinting away with it. Both watches are estimated to have a combined value of around £21,000.
