Met Police detectives investigating a robbery at a Richmond watch shop have arrested two but say they are still continuing their appeal for information.

At around 2:50pm on Saturday, 25 May, two men entered 247 Kettles on Kew Road and assaulted a member of staff before stealing a quantity of high value watches.

The victim, Oliver White, was not seriously injured in the attack, but was sadly found dead at a location in Surrey the following day.

Met Police say that his death is being investigated by Surrey Police, who are supporting Mr White's family, but that his death is not being treated as suspicious.

In connection with the robbery, a woman, aged in her 30s, has been released under investigation and a man, also aged in his 30s, was arrested on Wednesday, 29 May but bailed pending further enquiries.

Detective Chief Inspector Scott Mather, from the Met's Flying Squad, said: "First and foremost, our thoughts remain with Mr White's family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.

"We would ask that they are given the privacy they need to grieve.

"We are working tirelessly to get them the answers they need and are making good progress with our investigation. We urge anyone who has information that could assist us to get in touch as soon as possible.
