Video of the robbery carried out by the Serbian Pink Panthers in Greece: While the partner is waiting, he grabs the loot like this

Citizens of Serbia, aged 50 and 53, were arrested on Wednesday in Greece on suspicion of robbing at least two jewelry stores in the Athens area, from which they took loot worth more than 300,000 euros. Members of the Pink Panther criminal group are believed to have been arrested, and the security cameras of one of the looted jewelry stores captured the moment when the suspect removes valuable jewelry from the display cases.

Those arrested are suspected of robbing at least two jewelry stores in central Athens since December 2023. Previously, they would guess the goldsmith and they chose those jewelry stores that share a wall with some abandoned building. In the evening hours, they would enter an abandoned building, make a hole in the wall, and then one of the robbers would enter the jewelry store and crawl to the display cases and take the loot.

They are believed to have taken valuables worth at least €315,000.

The suspected Serbs, as stated, used falsified documents, drove vehicles with foreign license plates that were registered to persons with a clean criminal record, in order to prevent their detection.

They would reach the goldsmiths on foot or by vehicle, which they parked at a certain distance, so that the police could not connect the car with them.

It is believed that a younger Serb entered the goldsmiths, who would then crawl on the floor to avoid triggering the alarm. After emptying the display cases, he would return to the hole in the wall the same way, hand over the loot to his partner, and then they would run away together.

During the search of the premises they used, the police, among other things, found a riveting tool, three watches, jewelry, 190 euros, fake driver’s licenses, three mobile phones and other personal items.

During the investigation, a car and a motorcycle were also seized.

The police stated that the elderly Serb resisted arrest, and that both suspects have extensive criminal records.

Those arrested will be handed over to the competent prosecutor’s office for further action.
