CHAOS hit an ordinary juice run when Genevieve Chenneour found herself targeted while sitting in Joe & The Juice in Kensington.

According to a new report, Zacariah Boulares swiped the Bridgerton star’s phone as she sat inside the South West London spot last February. It’s the sort of brazen, daylight grab that feels ripped from a crime drama — except this one didn’t come with a director’s cut.

Boulares, now 19, has admitted to arming himself with a machete to rob Rolex watches. The phone theft and the watch robberies sit in the same grim orbit: fast, opportunistic and designed to be over before anyone has properly clocked what’s happening.

The detail that turns this from “another stolen handset” into something far more chilling is that machete admission. A stolen phone is invasive; a weapon in the mix changes the temperature entirely, shifting it from nuisance crime to something with real menace.

Boulares has already received a 22-month prison sentence. The incident involving Chenneour is part of the timeline that has landed him behind bars, and the wider admissions paint a picture of escalation from snatching a device to going after high-end watches with a blade.

There’s a particular sting when a recognisable face is involved, but the unnerving point is how unglamorous the setting was: not a red carpet, not a private members’ club — just a juice bar in Kensington. It’s a sharp reminder that celebrity doesn’t protect you from the most mundane kind of danger; sometimes it simply puts a brighter spotlight on it.
