TIME is up for group of men who have been stealing expensive watches from the wrists of innocent people in Oxford.

Thames Valley Police has released CCTV of three men they are trying to track down in connection with the robberies.

Oxford Mail: The force want to speak to them about three incidents, which all happened around the city centre. 

The first took place at around 6.50pm on September 9. 

A 22-year-old man was approached by the group, who he didn't know, outside Byron Burger on George Street. 

They grabbed him before stealing his expensive watch off his wrist and making a dash in the direction of Gloucester Street.

The second attempted robbery happened just after midnight on September 18 - nine days later. 

This time a 39-year-old man was targeted by the group, on the junction where High Street meets Cornmarket Street. 

They tried to steal his watch, but were unsuccessful.

Police believe the same group then tried their luck for a third time.

On September 28, at around 2am, a 19-year-old man was approached on Cowley Road. 

The group managed to steal his watch before leaving the scene.

PC Oliver Dalby, who is based at St Aldates Police Station, is investigating.

He said: "All of these robberies are believed to have been commited by the same group of men who are targeting individuals for their high-value watches.

"I am appealing to anyone who recognises the men pictured in these images, as I believe they may have vital information about these incidents."
