With the gangway clear, the criminals smashed all the glass display cabinets and left with a booty of luxury watches of more than a million €, in a mere two minutes. The modus operandi of the Pink Panthers the most famous criminal gang in the world

‘I heard a girl shriek and heard punches, I peered a saw a man running inside our store’ remembered an employee in a clothes shop next door. She recalled that the same jewellers were broken into some two years ago. ‘I thought we were under attack and sealed the security door’

The security guard then told all the onlookers to return inside their shops and to stay there until further notice. By then, the three thieves had started to run away with their valuable booty.
The jewellers were equipped with sophisticated alarm which was sounding during the entire theft but meant that the Guardia Civil were on the scene in seconds. The burglars had taken note of all the security video camera in the local port, and made sure of their faces being covered and not leaving any fingerprints behind.

The detectives from the Armed Institution, were trying to complete yesterday a search of all the area of Portals Port and to find any witnesses who saw the best burglars in the world, the Pink Panthers

The thieves ignored the safe but concentrated on all the watches on display all of the most expensive brands, mostly Rolex, Breitling, and others of similar quality.
