Breitling Chronomat steel & rose gold 17531835 reported snatched from Trafford Centre

It is reported that on 19th July 2021 a man in his early 20s snatched Breitling Chronomat 17531835 from a store at the Trafford Centre.

There are good pictures of the stupid rat and thanks to prompt intelligence work he should be fingered soon.

GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE ON 101 QUOTING INCIDENT REFERENCE NUMBER: 1711/19.07.21

If you're going to steal a high-end watch, surely you don't go for a two-tone Breitling!

It seems that he may previously have tried it with a £9,000 Rolex elsewhere, but was put off when they asked him to pay before he could have a look at it. Something of a clumsy but effective deterrent !
