21-year-old Lando Norris was involved in an incident outside Wembley following the Euro 2020 final. According to McLaren’s official website, the young Brit was mugged after attending the final between England and Italy, which the former lost on penalties.

Norris uploaded an image on his Instagram account before leaving the stadium, and a Richard Mille watch was visible on his wrist. The watch is presumed to be a limited edition in the blue and orange colors of McLaren; the expected worth of the watch is understood to be around $100,000.

Several reports of violence emerged during the much-anticipated final, with fans without tickets attempted to enter the Wembley Stadium. As a result of the violence, 19 officials were injured; so far, 49 people have been arrested.
