A man was assaulted and robbed of his watch in Wembley Stadium car park after the England - Italy final of Euro 2020.
Shortly before midnight, the 21-year-old victim returned to the yellow car park off Rutherford Way on Sunday, July 11, and was approached by two men.
A Met Police spokesman commented: "A short time later he was assaulted and held by one of the men while his watch was removed from his wrist.
"The victim was understandably shaken but did not sustain any lasting injuries."
