Missing Jay Slater: Teen ‘Stole £12k Watch’, Former Detective Claims | “The Plot Is Thickening”

Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer and former senior military intelligence officer Philip Ingram discuss new claims that Jay Slater 'stole a £12k watch and told friends about it on Snapchat' the day he went missing.
The 19-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared after setting off to walk back to his accommodation on Tenerife on June 17.
He had travelled to an Airbnb in Masca after attending the NRG music festival. The two men said to have rented the property were later ruled “not relevant” to the case, according to reports.
Tenerife’s Guardia Civil has called off the search for the apprentice bricklayer after helicopters, drones and search dogs were deployed to find him.
The search in the village of Masca, near his last-known location, took in a steep rocky area, including ravines, trails and paths.

So he's running around stealing rolex watches off drunk guy's wrist.. Attacking guy with a machete. Where's the black and white Cctv footage with them running from a wall onto beach front? then shouting and swearing with a young girl screaming saying you said you wouldn't stab him along with her screaming Jay Jay then her helping him limp away. That Lucy knows ALOT more and the thousands and thousands of people looking while the family donate nothing to the people searching while they sit in their hotel flying all friend's and family over.. What for? If you aren't looking then why waste money? Sounds fishy or another Nicola Bulley crisis actor's for distraction for something upcoming. People go missing daily from Britain WHY IS THIS ON THE MEDIA CONSTANTLY NAH SOMETHING FAR WRONG. OCH WELL THE FAMILY ARE AT LEAST 40GRAND UP. NEVER DONATE TO ANY GO FUND ME BEFORE GETTING THE BIGGER PICTURE.. That last Snapchat of Jay could be anyone holding a cigarette. His face isn't in pic so how do folk know it's him? These young folk leave all these apps open cos they use them so much. He was stabbed on beach from the Cctv and obviously taken and dumped somewhere. And lucy saying he cut his leg on cactus is to cover up for any blood found. The police should've been at that B&B they guy's were at and also all rental car's siezed among all involved for forensic examination.. Look's like his dodgy nasty way of life has eventually caught up with him. I looked at his insta just to get a feel of what he was like and it's just all a bunch of wee daft guy's thinking they're bigger and harder than they really are.. Real men especially in Scotland use their fists or body to to fight not all tooled up. Well done parent's you must be proud.. Tell you something if my son had disappeared I'd be up their all day all night with everything I needed. I'd be digging the dirt with my bare hands but nope..

Jay Slater, 18, of Fountains Way, ACCRINGTON - 18 month community order with 25 days rehabilitation activities and 150 hours unpaid work. Convicted of violent disorder in August 2023, when he was aged 18. He is now 19. His codefendants were found guilty of witness intimidation, attempted robbery and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. Throughout a trial at Preston Crown Court, all eight laughed and joked in a way the judge said showed disrespect. The judge said if the group had been convicted of the more serious charge of section 18 wounding, they would all have gone to youth custody. Tom Hilton, who was 17 at the time of the attack, suffered a head injury so serious his skull was exposed, and wounds to his shoulders and legs in the attack close to the Old Paper Mill in Hermitage Street, Rishton, in August 2021. The Daily Record: Eight thugs who split boy's head open with machete dodge jail The teens were slapped with community service after attacking Tom Hilton, who was 17 at the time, with a machete, an axe and a golf club. By Rachel Smith Eve Beattie 19 JUN 2024 Please compare pictures of the convicted Jay Slater in the Lancashire Post article: Eight handed community and rehabilitation orders over attack 4th August 2023, with any other pictures of missing Jay. It is the same person. Tom Hilton, the victim, was jailed for 14 months, disqualified from driving for 25 months and must sit an extended re-test if he wants his licence back. He pled guilty to attempted burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous driving. Before conviction for these offences, he had 14 convictions for 28 offences. The court also heard that on committing these offences on February 12, Hilton was in breach of two community orders which had been imposed on him, one just three days earlier and one in November 2021 which was a two-year order. Recorder Timothy Hannam KC said: “You have an awful record for someone of your age. “You’ve had a great many chances to change your ways but these offences are so serious that only a custodial sentence is appropriate. “This was a prolonged period of bad driving being chased by police. The speeds were terrifyingly high in built up areas. You were lucky the streets were relatively empty."
