Moscow police detained on Tuesday a suspect accused of stealing a Rolex watch worth 260,000 rubles ($8,200) from L'Oreal Russia general director Pekka Huttunen.

The watch was stolen on Sunday from a dressing room at the CSKA stadium, where Huttunen, a Finish national, was playing ice hockey with his colleagues, Infox.ru reported.
