Bournemouth's Jordon Ibe robbed at knifepoint

AFC Bournemouth midfielder Jordon Ibe was robbed at knifepoint after thieves rammed his car just four days after suspected gunmen allegedly threatened West Ham United striker Andy Carroll, it has emerged.

Ibe, 20, had his watch stolen after his car was targeted in Surrey Quays, southeast London, at around 1.45pm on 6 November.

The Sun reported that the assailants made off with the footballer's £25,000 Rolex.

Scotland Yard said detectives were investigating the attack.

A Met Police spokesman said: "One of the suspects threatened the victim with a knife before stealing his watch. The victim was not injured.

"At this early stage, officers are investigating whether the suspects intentionally collided with the victim's car."

The attack came after Carroll, 27, was the victim of an alleged attempted robbery as he drove his Mercedes G-Wagon back to his home in Essex from a training session on 2 November.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic described Carroll as "very brave" after the player was allegedly targeted.

Jack O'Brien, 22, of Ivyhouse Road, Dagenham, east London, is due to appear in court charged with a string of offences, including attempted robbery in connection with Carroll.
