City footballer left ‘shaken’ after his £30,000 watch was stolen

Birmingham City Football Club has released a statement today after one of its players had a £30,000 watch stolen from outside his home in Solihull.

Two men are now being hunted by police after stealing the watch from City winger, Peter Lovenkrands, who also made an unsuccessful grab for his wedding ring.

The diamond-encrusted Swiss-made Hublot is very distinctive says police Detective Sergeant Andrew O’Keeffe.

The men are described as white and aged in their late teens or early 20s. They were wearing hooded tops and had their faces covered.

Birmingham City Football Club say they’re saddened by the nature of the incident.

In 2012, the Danish winger signed a two-year deal with Birmingham City from Newcastle United.
