“It hasn’t been smooth,” Charles Leclerc claims robbery investigation not going as ‘smooth’ as expected

On Easter Monday, Charles Leclerc was robbed. A $320,000 special edition Richard Mille watch was stolen from his wrist while posing with fans in the Italian city of Viareggio. Around 10 PM, the Ferrari driver was out with his trainer in Italy.

Around that moment, the gang of robbers requested a souvenir photograph from the Monegasque driver. When the request was made, the driver was present in the vehicle. One of the guys present in the group snatched the Richard Mille from Leclerc’s hand as the driver stepped out of his car.

After the incident, Leclerc filed a complaint with the local police. The driver is reported to be fine and unharmed during the robbery. Investigation for the identification of the robber is underway as the security cameras are being searched. But according to him, the operations are not going as smooth as expected.
