Three men have been formally charged in connection with a brazen armed robbery at a luxury watch shop in London, as police continue their pursuit of three additional suspects believed to be involved in the incident.
Details of the Knightsbridge Robbery
The Metropolitan Police reported that six individuals, armed with weapons including machetes, stormed a Rolex store located in the affluent Knightsbridge area at approximately 10:50 AM on Tuesday, 20 January. The suspects allegedly entered the premises and threatened both staff members and members of the public before making off with several high-value watches, each valued at thousands of pounds. Fortunately, no injuries were sustained during the robbery, which occurred in a busy part of the city.

- Elliot Campbell, aged 31 and also from Islington, has been charged with robbery, possession of criminal property, and possession of drugs.
- Dyllan Gowie, aged 27 and from Tower Hamlets, is charged with robbery and possession of drugs.
The trio is scheduled to appear at Highbury Magistrates' Court later on Friday, 6 February 2026, as the legal proceedings commence.
