The men committed four robberies and three burglaries in 2020. The robbers struck in Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Krimpen aan den IJssel, Rockanje, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Mijnsheerenland and Uden.
According to the court, the eight suspects aged 21 to 33 from Rotterdam and Ridderkerk did not form a criminal organization together, which the Public Prosecution Service was convinced of. However, the court ruled that it cannot be established that there was a partnership and acquitted all eight suspects of this.
The court imposed prison sentences of seven years and 5.5 years on two Rotterdammers who, among other crimes, were involved in the armed robbery of Nikkie de Jager on August 8, 2020. The makeup artist and her fiancé were tied up that afternoon with duct tape, tie wraps. and ropes. The loot consisted of valuable jewelry and a Louis Vuitton bag. The 33-year-old Said O. was acquitted of this armed robbery, because based on his telephone records it cannot be proven that he was in De Jager’s residence during the robbery.
21-year-old Younes S. from Ridderkerk has been sentenced to eight years in prison, one year more than required. He was, among other things, involved in the failed robbery on René van der Gijp, in which hammers smashed into his armored car windows in the driveway of his house in Dordrecht. The intention was probably to rob him of his Rolex.
