Fairy fingers and determination were their main. Four jewelry thieves, South Americans, aged 31 to 41, were arrested on April 9 in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis) by investigators from the Banditicism (BRB) of Paris. They are suspected of having stolen jewelry in two Cleor shops in Ormesson-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) and in Pontault-Combault (Seine-et-Marne).
The case begins in early April when the PJ investigators learn that a team of Chilean and Colombian criminals scums jewelry stores in the Paris region. They notably targeted a shop in Ormesson-sur-Marne on March 26.
The operating mode is prowled. The criminals, already known for similar facts, pretend to be customers. “They are linked together by a system of Bluetooth headsets,” said a source close to the case. One of them diverts the attention of the saleswoman while her accomplice forces the windows. In a few seconds, he takes control of the jewelry of the displays. Meanwhile, outside, two other companions are watching to prevent them from being surprised by the police.
