Two Algerian nationals are jailed after a failed attempt to steal a high-value watch outside a hotel in London. According to reporting, Ania Bala, 25, and Salah Mabrouk, 23, were involved in an incident outside the Lanesborough Hotel in Knightsbridge on October 8 last year. The case is described as targeting a watch valued at about £15,000 belonging to a wealthy Kuwaiti. The reports say the men had been lingering around London tourist areas before the attempted theft at the hotel. Authorities later pursued the matter and the defendants are reported to have been convicted and sentenced to prison. The accounts presented do not indicate that the watch was successfully taken. The sources also do not provide details on the specific lengths of the sentences, the precise charges used at sentencing, or the evidentiary basis for the conviction beyond the description of the attempted robbery and the defendants’ presence near tourist hotspots prior to the incident.
