Police release audio of 'Night Watcher' suspect in Kent

Police have released a recording of the voice of a man known as the "Night Watcher." He violently attacked a 63-year-old woman during a £1.8 million robbery in Sevenoaks, Kent, on June 21. The man approached the victim at her home, brandished a firearm, and demanded the keys to her safes. In the audio, the suspect can be heard shouting commands. He threatened the woman with the gun, injured her, and bound her before stealing over 50 pieces of valuable jewelry, including diamond earrings and a sapphire pendant. After the attack, he escaped on a bicycle. The suspect is believed to be linked to many similar robberies dating back to 2006 across several counties, including Surrey, Sussex, and London. Detectives have identified this crime as part of a pattern that includes at least five recent burglaries totaling over £600,000. Experts say the suspect's accent indicates he may come from a wealthy area in the south of England. He often uses a balaclava and cycling gear to hide his identity. Authorities are urging anyone with information about him to come forward and have offered a £10,000 reward for leads that lead to his arrest. The victim, now unnamed for her safety, recalled the traumatic experience, describing it as something straight out of a horror film. She is still recovering from the incident, which has deeply affected her life and sense of security.
