The thug 'flirted' with his victim before snatching a watch from his wrist as he waited for a taxi home
A robber appeared to be 'flirting' with another man in a bar but instead snatched a £10,000 Rolex watch from his wrist. Nazim Guettair attacked his victim as he was waiting for a taxi home, leaving him with a broken bone and a 'disfigurement'. The thug claims to have been acting under threat from a gang who were demanding money from him. He told a judge 'I really apologise' as he was locked up today.
The Algerian national has no previous convictions in the UK, although he was cautioned for shoplifting in March this year. Guettair had previously been seeking asylum in this country, although his application was later 'terminated due to non-compliance'. Tom Watson, defending, told the court: 'Mr Saleh and Ms Powell were entitled to just enjoy their night out. What this defendant did was utterly outrageous and, frankly, disgraceful and mean.
