Jewelry And Money Worth Rs 4 Million Taken From A Jewelry Store

Must Read

A daring robbery was perpetrated this Friday morning of January 7 in a jewelry store at Rue La Reine, Port-Louis. Two thugs on motorcycles broke into the store and stole jewelry and money from a safe. The whole is worth Rs 4 193 900. The owner of this jewelry store, 39 years old, was attacked and had to be treated at the ophthalmologic hospital of Moka.

It was in the middle of the day, around 10:15 am, that these two men got off a motorcycle to enter the PS Patten jewelry store. Without warning, they were to attack the jeweler by spraying him with a liquid in the face. Under the threat of sabers, the owner could not oppose these two men. While many passers-by were using this street, no one suspected that a robbery was taking place inside this jewelry store.

These two individuals only took about twenty minutes inside this business to leave with a loot of Rs 3 millions. As soon as the alert was given, a team of police officers from the Trou-Fanfaron police station went to the scene. These officers were joined by their colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the Metropolitan Police of the northern division.

The images of the surveillance cameras of Safe City were viewed in order to follow the routes of this motorcycle. All indications are that these thugs have been planning this hit for several days. On Friday morning, January 7, they were seen not far from this business for quite some time. It is not impossible that they were there before for a scouting before the D-day. Forensic technicians went to the location to collect clues and prints that could help solve this case.  A sniffer dog was also taken to the scene.

One of the men was wearing a full face helmet while the other was wearing a mask. The CID is working with the division’s Field Intelligence Office to get a hold of these two thugs. Profiles of those who may have been involved in this robbery have been compiled by investigators.
