A ‘Rolex Ripper’ who broke his elbow trying to grab a £50,000 watch in Mayfair has walked free because of prison overcrowding.
Walid Raoul, 30, attempted to steal Mark Beard’s Patek Phillipe Blue World Time watch from his wrist on Grosvenor Street, London on 8 June 2024. Mr Beard was walking back to the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, with his wife Annli when Raoul and another man pounced. While Raoul tried to get the watch, a second man tried to get his gilet before breaking Mrs Beard’s finger trying to steal one her rings. Raoul and Mr Beard fell to the ground and began wrestling on the floor before the thief managed to run away. But he fell over with the watch in his hand and was physically restrained by Mr Beard and several nearby security guards. Raoul has nine previous convictions for 14 offences – including a conspiracy to commit robbery conviction in 2013. Mr Beard was wearing a blue Patek Phillipe World Time worth £50,000 |

Not banning Doyle was a clear mistake, and I'm not sure why that couldn't have been put right. The Stewards in general just haven't been doing their job properly over many years ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- agreed. |

Instead of slagging the stewards and Doyle, those of you armchair pundits should get an eyesight test. Whatever words Doyle used described what happened with his mount and if you can dispute that from the evidence of the stills shown in the RP then like fat boy Jennings you also need some objectivity and stick with facts rather than conjecture!!
