A pensioner had his Rolex and phone stolen from him while he sat minding his own business enjoying a pint in a pub beer garden.

The victim was sitting out of the front of the gastro boozer in the middle of the afternoon.

Two men pulled up in a black Audi and parked in a neighbouring road.

The pair then stormed into the garden with one leaping over a low wall.

They were then involved in a 19-second tussle with the OAP drinker.

The vile duo then scarpered and jumped back into their car and sped off.

They allegedly swiped his expensive watch and phone.

The shocking moment was captured in CCTV footage from a business opposite The George pub.

It happened at 2:39pm on Tuesday (17 Sept) in Hayes Street, Hayes, near Bromley, south East London.

One said: “Robbing the elderly?

“That’s bottom tier activities.”

Another – called David – added: “In today’s world, it’s sadly not worth wearing any nice jewellery when out and about.”
