The proprietor of a local independent watch shop that many of you know was violently assaulted as he and his wife left their premises last evening...he was beaten but his wife has suffered a broken jaw.
Risk aware, they were wearing £100 worth of Casio and Seiko which were stolen
All in the sleepy new forest- watches of distinction in Lymington.
Seems everywhere is getting like the Wild West these days.

These morons are scum & should be dealt with "properly" when caught.
That is very sad to hear. I hope they both make a full recovery.
Not being funny but no matter where you live in the UK there is serious crime going on so it is no surprise at all in the slightest bit.
I live in some of the lowest crime rate area in the entire UK and if you walk around the local Town on Saturday night by yourself or even small group you
may get jumped and beaten by a gang of youths and hospitalised with the only motive being they did it for a laugh or were board....
And I quote "Dyfed-Powys in Wales, (the area covering Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Powys), Gloucestershire and North Yorkshire are the safest places to live in the UK"Originally Posted by Curtis
I am in one of the safest areas of Dyfed-Powys and have been assaulted in broad day light lol.
Like I said it does not make you immune to crime, your just less likely than other worse areas.
Nowhere is safe in the UK
This is sad, i hope they get caught and dealt with
I was following the facebook updates on this last night. Thankfully Giles seems to have removed, or been told to remove, his posts following the attack because he could well have, wrongly, ended up doing more time than the attackers if they’re ever caught.
What did he post? Presume it was a description of them or something?
Flippin' heck, dreadful news, I was popping in there tomorrow as well.
Hope they both make a quick recovery.

Very sorry (and worried) to hear this. Lymington is a such a quiet part of the country. Wishing both a swift recovery.

So sorry to hear this.
I was there on the 5th.
Giles was there and we chatted for half an hour or so, mostly about his connection with some top motorcycle riders.
I hope he and his wife recover physically and mentally quickly from what must have been a terrifying attack.

Wasn't there a nutjob running around the High Street waving a meat cleaver in the early hours of the morning recently?
Place is becoming like the Wild West. Won't somebody think of the house prices? And the children, obviously.
Seriously, I like Giles, and have dealt with him several times, usually to his advantage. I hope that he and his wife make full recoveries.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
Been into this shop many times and enjoyed chatting with Giles and his colleagues. Very friendly and welcoming. Pretty shocked to hear of an attack like this in Lymington. The brass neck on these thieving bastards.
You can't believe anything this government says...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Did you report the assault?
Being in a relatively quiet area does not guarantee a crime free situation.For organised criminals this appeals due to low policing and large area covered by the police.Case in point - gleneagles mappin & webb golf shop got raided by folk from London and they were able to escape easily with Rolex watches.I followed watches of distinction on Instagram- will not repeat what was said but not very classy at all and not someone who I would buy a watch from with the type of comments made.

Paul Thorpe is now broadcasting an interview with the couple...
The BBC have posted CCTV footage of the incident - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng...ptured-on-cctv
Absolutely horrible. I dearly hope they catch the scum. Also hope the dear lady can recover quickly.

Bad news. My sister lives there, I visit often. It’s a nice place, but known for a few quid and there is perhaps more targeted robbery than you’ would imagine.
A local (v.posh) hotel to there had the cellar broken into not long ago and some seriously expensive bottles of wine taken - targeted specifically. I know the same of some big houses in the area too.
