Robbery suspect said 'every man loves a watch'
Briefly

The court case surrounding a high-value watch shop robbery at 247 Kettles in Richmond is underway, involving defendants Junior Kunu and Mannix Pedro, both denying conspiracy. The incident saw over 70 luxury watches stolen, with tragic repercussions, including the suicide of store manager Oliver White. Evidence from phone records and CCTV indicates Pedro's active role in the robbery's planning and execution. Notably, Pedro's comments during police questioning reflect a deeper interest in watches while he denies any trading experience, complicating his defense amid ongoing searches for two other suspects.
In a police interview, Mannix Pedro claimed he was "in cars and clothing" but never engaged in the buying or selling of watches, noting his Rolex was fake.
The prosecutor highlighted that the store manager, Oliver White, tragically took his own life, a direct consequence of the traumatic robbery that occurred.
Pedro stated, "I think every man loves a watch - cars, watches and women," during his interrogation, illustrating his mindset during the crime.
After the robbery, phone tracking linked Pedro to various locations and activities, including searches for a watch winder, indicating further involvement and intention.
