A British tourist has been mugged in Majorca in front of his wife and young child for his £35,000 Rolex watch.
Three masked men robbed the 44-year-old holidaymaker near a hotel in Cala Egos, a resort close to picturesque Port d’Andratx on the island’s southwestern tip.
The victim was enjoying a late-night stroll with his family after an evening meal in an upmarket restaurant.
He resisted but his attempts to foil the gang proved fruitless and two of the assailants held him down while the third wrenched the timepiece off his wrist before they fled in a getaway vehicle.
Workers and guests at the unnamed hotel were alerted by the screams of the couple’s young daughter who witnessed the violent mugging.
