The '''Watchman''' was a [[random event]] that appeared during [[Thieving]], similar to other guardian events such as the [[Rock Golem]]. His level differed depending on the player's combat level. He was removed due to players' complaints about being killed too quickly when pickpocketing at a low [[life point]] level and wearing no armour. The Watchman would say "(Player's Name), you are under arrest!" before attacking.

==Trivia==
*There was a bug in free worlds where if the player tried to steal from a stall (such as the [[tea stall]]) in south-east Varrock, a watchman would appear. He would attack and the player could fight him. He would not drop any member items on free to play worlds.
*In the Draynor Bank's security recording of the [[Draynor Bank Robbery]], a Watchman appeared but was killed quickly by the Wise Old Man. When the watchman was discontinued, the watchman in the video footage was replaced by the [[Pillory Guard]], even though the bank robbery was an event that had supposedly happened before the Pillory Guard existed.
