East Grinstead Robbery and Carjacking

Police are renewing their appeal for anyone who witnessed a robbery and carjacking in East Grinstead last Thursday to come forward.
Two men were assaulted and robbed of a valuable watch, and when the thieves failed to escape on a stolen Yamaha motorcycle, they forced another man from his car and drove off.

The Ford Mondeo was found a little later in a rural car park in Rabies Heath Road between South Godstone and Bletchingley in Surrey.

Detective Inspector Mark Cullimore says that the Mondeo was seen smoking slightly as it had been driven fast and hard.

Two black men got out of the car and got into a black BMW that had been waiting in the car park with a driver at the wheel.

Police think that the crime was well planned and describe the two suspects as in their late teens to early 20s, 5-foot 10″, with short hair and wearing all black. One of them was seen to be carrying a knife at the time of the robbery.
