The growing threat of snatch theft in Switzerland and how to protect yourself.

Luxury watches, symbols of prestige and success, are increasingly attracting snatch thieves, particularly in Switzerland. A recent incident in Lausanne highlighted this growing threat. Two young Moroccan nationals, aged 15 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of snatching a luxury watch. Their method, both simple and formidable, consisted of distracting their victims by pretending to dance or play with their legs before snatching their watch.

The thieves were active in various towns in French-speaking Switzerland. They target hypercentres and the areas around railway stations, busy places where luxury watches are often displayed unsuspectingly.

In a world where the luxury watch is more than just a simple accessory, but a genuine work of art and status symbol, protecting it is becoming an absolute priority.
