Overview
- The Mission: Impossible star is reported to have vacated his £35m One Hyde Park penthouse in Knightsbridge, with building staff seen packing and removing boxes.
- Coverage links the departure to a January 20 smash-and-grab at the Bucherer Rolex boutique beneath the building, where a motorbike gang used hammers and machetes to steal about 20 watches.
- The Metropolitan Police investigation into the daylight robbery remains active, and no arrests have been announced.
- An unnamed source quoted by the Daily Mail says the attack “cemented” concerns about security in the area, which Cruise had frequented for early runs in nearby Hyde Park.
- Some outlets say he has returned to the US or is exploring properties in the Cotswolds, a claim not corroborated by his publicist.
