Another Rolex robbery

https://www.golocalprov.com/news/vic...ewelry-and-90k


Pretty sad!!! Hopefully these men get their watches back. Atwells Ave (Federal Hill) has changed. There used to be a time when people would think twice about committing a crime on the Hill

Sounds like the restaurant has a spotter to alert the thief. Wonder what the $90k watch was.

Looks like it may be Providence, RI. Although it could easily have been Baltimore.

My whole mother's side is from Federal Hill. Years ago, if someone tried something like this The Patricia Family would have made sure that was the last thing they did... Sadly, Providence was a much better city when the mob ran it...

Scary. I know Nicholas (1st AMG) just posted about going there next week with his daughter and son for his daughter’s competition and a couple people recommended restaurants on Federal Hill. Hope everyone stays as safe as possible out there

Looks like it was just a "regular" robbery that just happened to involve Rolexes. I mean, the diamond necklace was probably the target.

According to police, the victims reported being robbed of their phones, wallets, a diamond necklace — and Rolex watches.

It's possible these guys were targeted for the necklace and both wearing expensive watches was an unforeseen bonus for the thief.

Given the value of the two watches, I got my bets on who bought dinner..
