A 59-year-old woman was approached by two men, riding a motorcycle, in one of the “most noble areas of Porto” on Wednesday afternooon. While one remained on the cycle, the other, still wearing a helmet, brandished what looked like a gun and demanded her valuables. The woman handed over her Rolex watch – apparently worth €40,000 – car keys and mobile phone. The pair then made off on the motorcycle without once removing their helmets. According to shocked eye-witnesses the attack was “very quick” and one of the assailants carried the rucksack of a food delivery company. PSP police are investiging.
