A motorcycle gang robbed a stockbroker and his wife of watches worth £20,000 as they returned to their car after a family day out at Kenwood House in north London.

Two bikes drew up alongside the VW Tiguan at around 5pm last Saturday. Four men surrounded it and one smashed a hammer into the side of the car.

The father was forced to hand over his Hublot watch and his wife’s Rolex in what is believed to have been the latest in a series of such attacks in the Hampstead area.

Passers-by stayed with the couple, their son aged four and daughter, seven, until police arrived 30 minutes later, according to the 35-year-old father.
