(KRON) — In the latest in a series of recent thefts of high-end watches, a Redwood City man was robbed of his Rolex outside of his home on Saturday, according to the Redwood City Police Department. Al Shawa was outside of his home when the armed theft took place.

In a statement to KRON4, he said he was terrified and angry about what happened. The incident is just one in a string of similar crimes lately. Although no evidence has emerged linking the crimes together, there does appear to be some sort of trend involving the thefts of Rolexes and other expensive watches.
