Mr Renvoize said Cavendish and his wife Peta were in bed with their three-year-old child when they were woken up by noise
Raiders 'punched' Cavendish and 'told him to turn alarm off'Mr Renvoize said Mrs Cavendish and Cavendish looked for a"panic alarm that he had" in the bedroom, adding that some of the raiders"jumped on" him and"began punching him and telling him to turn the alarm off"."At this point there were three in the room and they began asking where the watches were.
Mr Renvoize said Peta was"asked for the watch" and Cavendish"pointed to his watch on the windowsill"."One of the intruders said 'that's not it'," said the prosecutor, who added that it was a Richard Mille watched valued at £400,000 and that Mrs Cavendish's watch was also taken. Mr Renvoize said it appeared that the intruders had left by 2.32am and added that before the raid CCTV cameras had captured cars driving past the home in what"appeared to be a reconnaissance mission" of the location.
The prosecutor said Mrs Cavendish's phone was found outside the property and that a"contact mark" was later"forensically examined" and DNA was recorded.
