An enormous damage and robbed of jewelry. A jeweler in Etten-Leur does not like to think back to November 18, 2024. Then his case was broken into. More than half a year later, the police still have no trace of the perpetrator.
The burglary, in the middle of the night from Sunday to Monday, was the work of a professional. The perpetrator comes in by first destroying a door in the parking garage. Then he manages to force the roller shutter of the jewelry store, crawls under it, hits a hole in the access door and is in the store within a few minutes.
In the store he hits several showcases short and small and puts jewelry in a striking yellow bag. In no time, the suspect left again, leaving enormous damage and gang behind.
Announced in Bureau Brabant
The burglary was never reported by the police. She speaks on Monday evening, in Bureau Brabant, of a ‘big loot’. On images you can see that the suspect was wearing a black balaclava, gloves, dark pants and Nike sneakers. He also had a hammer with him.
With that hammer he hit hard on the door of the store several times, until the hole is so large that he can get through. Once inside, he breaks down showcases with the same hammer.
Hammer and gloves recovered
A few weeks later, bushes near De Dreef, near the shopping center in Etten-Leur, a hammer, gloves and jewelry displays are found. The police think the burglar must have hidden there or left it for another reason. Witnesses may know more.
