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.

They grab ten jewelry worth nearly 14,000 euros. The four suspects are surprised on the return by the police at 2:45 p.m., avenue Paul-Vaillant-Couturier de Bobigny.

The loot was found and returned to the victim. These four homeless men were placed in police custody in the PJ premises at the Porte de Clichy. During their hearings, they were not very prolix. The quartet was referred on Friday April 11, 2025 to the Créteil prosecution. They were imprisoned pending judgment before the criminal court.
