This case is not concluded. The Justice Department announces the cases it brings and the ones it wins; it does not issue a release when a jury acquits or a judge dismisses. A charge reported here may since have been resolved in the defendant's favour without any further announcement.

More on this incident

Two men have been over the robbery of a watch from a man walking through Windsor with his family on July 6, 2025, according to reporting by the Slough Observer. Police said Massinissa Tellia, 31, of Church Street, Chalvey, and Ayman Zanati took a Patek Phillipe watch from the man's wrist, the outlet reported. Tellia was also tried for a second count of robbery, which was investigated by the Metropolitan Police. An investigating officer said Tellia had targeted victims in two separate robberies, using force and intimidation to steal high-value property, according to the Slough Observer. The case involved two counts of robbery. At Reading Crown Court, Tellia was to seven years and nine months in prison and Zanati was to 12 months' imprisonment, the outlet reported. Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police were named as the investigating forces. This account rests on a single published report and remains open to further detail; the Slough Observer's report does not set out which counts each man was convicted of, and further particulars of the proceedings have not been established here.

Revision history

  1. Version 315 Aug 2026, 12:39current

    Added the Chester Standard's reporting on Bradley Thompson's 14-year drugs sentence, the Merseyside Police investigation and the additional drug and criminal-property charges.

  2. Version 215 Aug 2026, 05:59

    Replaced the internal-process phrase "The fact set does not establish any connection between the two proceedings" with reader-facing attribution to the published reports ("Neither report links the Windsor case to the Arizona case"), and rephrased the maximum-sentence note to attribute it to the reports rather than the source compilation. All figures, names, dates, charges and duelling sentence and conduct accounts remain as given, each attributed to the outlet that reported it.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
