A woman has reported having a high-value watch stolen while she was at a Surrey racecourse, police say.

The victim said she was walking through the market at Kempton Park racecourse, Sunbury at about 13:00 GMT on Thursday, when a man made her remove the watch before he made off on foot, a police spokesperson said.

The suspect is described as white man in his 20s, about 5ft 8 inches (172 cm) tall, medium build and with brown hair. He was wearing a grey/blue tracksuit with a black gilet, and a snood covering the bottom of his face. He is also described as having an Irish accent.

Anyone who has any information is being asked to contact Surrey Police.
