Street Cleaner Who Handed In £20k Rolex Watch Finds Three More Watches In Drain
Tuesday 21st February 2012 | Osh
A street cleaner who handed in a Rolex could be in for a £60,000 payout after finding three more of the high- value time pieces in the same drain.
Arron Large handed in the watch promptly to the police and was commended for his honesty. However he was stunned to find another Rolex, an Omega and A Franck Muller, when he returned to the same spot with a local television news crew to tell the story.
The father of two could pocket the value of all four watches- estimated at £60,000 if the owners do not come forward within a month. They were all found in drains opposite Chalkwell railway station, Essex. Police are investigating the incident and think it may be a case of burglary or a robbery, in which someone stashed them at the spot and forgot where they had thrown them.
