images of a spectacular watch heist worth millions of euros

In Monaco, video surveillance cameras captured a spectacular robbery scene in a luxury jewelry and watch store. The amount amounts to millions of euros. Inside the store is a disguised man, while his accomplice remains outside. They are both actively sought. At first glance, the man inside looked like a simple elderly person visiting a luxury boutique. But the cane is only a decoy.

The masked robber pulls out a handgun in front of the saleswoman and asks her to give him all the watches in the window. With the young woman, they fill a green shopping bag with jewelry from the store. When a customer outside seems to wonder what is going on: the robber calmly gestures to him to come back in ten minutes. The heist lasts seven minutes. Before leaving the scene, the robber sprays a product to hide the traces of his passage. Then he fled on a scooter, before joining his accomplice. The trace of the scooter was lost a few kilometers further.
