A rare watch worth nearly $6 million is one of several luxury items still missing after a major robbery in Canberra.
Four French men stole more than 70 items, including luxury handbags, watches and jewellery worth around $10 million from a house in the nation’s capital on October 15.

Authorities are still on the hunt for a Richard Mille RM88 Smiley watch and a Patek Philippe 5711 Tiffany watch, both collectively valued at an impressive $8.5 million, as appraised by Chrono24.

It is alleged the four flew to Australia specifically for the robbery.
The four men were later located and arrested at a fast-food restaurant in Wentworthville in Sydney’s west on October 19.

The day following the theft, law enforcement conducted a raid on a residence within the same neighborhood, successfully retrieving several stolen items, including a collection of Hermes handbags.

The suspects were brought back to the Australian Capital Territory on October 21, where they now face charges of aggravated burglary with the intent to commit theft, along with joint commission theft.

Efforts continue as ACT Police collaborate with their counterparts in New South Wales and authorities in France to track down the remaining stolen goods.

Some of the missing items have surfaced in Europe and have been returned to Australia.

The police are appealing to the public for assistance. Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to Crime Stoppers through the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
