Nafpaktos jewelry store robbery: Three suspects flee with stolen goods
Three masked individuals carried out a rapid robbery at a jewelry store in Nafpaktos, Greece, early Tuesday morning. Security footage shows the suspects, wearing full-face masks, hoods, and gloves, exiting the shop with black plastic bags filled with jewelry and display items. The entire operation lasted approximately three minutes.
The perpetrators reportedly used a specialized cutter to breach the metal security shutter and a fire extinguisher to break the lock. They arrived at the scene in a white vehicle previously stolen from the Patras area. After the theft, the suspects fled toward Antirrio, where they abandoned and set fire to the vehicle in a field near the Rio-Antirrio bridge in an attempt to destroy evidence.
Criminal investigation units have conducted an on-site examination of the jewelry store to identify forensic evidence. The shop owner reported significant damages, noting that the thieves emptied drawers and display cases with extreme speed.
