TT racer John McGuinness has £10,000 watch stolen

A £10,000 watch awarded to John McGuinness for winning the Isle of Man 2013 Senior TT has been stolen.

The watch, engraved ‘TT Senior Winner’, is thought to have been taken from the glove compartment of a van parked on Mayfield Drive some time between Saturday evening and Monday morning.

The 21-time TT winner is offering a reward for the safe return of the Graham TT winner’s special edition watch - one of only 10 in existence.

PC Lucy Illingworth of Morecambe Police said: “We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward and speak to us so that we can re-unite the watch with its rightful owner.”
