We are appealing for information after a man was robbed of his Rolex watch.

The robbery happened on the canal path between Station Approach and Pride Parkway in Derby between 11pm on Tuesday 29 April and 12.15am on Wednesday 30 April.

The victim was walking along the path when he was approached by an unknown man who started talking with him.

When they arrived at the underpass on the canal path, the man assaulted the victim and then stole his Rolex watch, which is worth a substantial amount of money.

As part of our appeal for information, we have released a picture of the watch, which is a Rolex Daytona in two-tone gold and stainless steel with a mother of pearl face and diamond hour markers.

If anyone has tried to sell you the watch we would like to hear from you.
