The one who signs gives the reader the option of putting or not some adjective to the theft that happened this Wednesday afternoon at the El Prat airport in Barcelona and which I will describe below. A thief of those who move through the terminals and steal carelessly, without force or violence, took from the Emirates check-in area a white Louis Vuitton suitcase with an Hermés bag placed right on top that belonged to a Russian family who at that moment he was queuing to check in the abundant luggage with which they were traveling. The victims explained that inside the bags there were jewels, watches and cash worth more than eight and a half million euros. Barely two and a half hours later, a patrol from the Mossos de Trànsit identified the rented vehicle in which the thieves had fled from the airport on the AP-7 motorway, near Salt, and stopped them. They recovered all the loot.
Following the complaint, the airport investigation unit went to work. If El Prat has something good, which has many things, it is the video surveillance system with cameras that practically does not leave a single black hole to control. And of course, you have to know how to use those cameras and know where to look and how to follow the trail of a suspect. Through the images, the researchers were able to identify the individual who, with great subtlety and without attracting attention, had taken the Hermés suitcase, an exclusive model that we will describe later.
Frame by frame, the investigators followed his trail through the terminal, and his arrival at the parking lot where he got into a rented vehicle. From that moment on, the important thing was to spread the information quickly. A diffusion to the rest of the Mossos that caused a Trànsit de Girona patrol to identify the vehicle in less than two hours, stop them and arrest its two occupants with Hermes’s suitcase and all the denounced contents, intact inside. . The vehicle and the millionaire booty were transferred together with the two suspects to the Catalan police station in Girona and during this Thursday the investigation of the report will be carried out.
The victims made a detailed inventory of the material they had in the suitcase, in addition to about $10,000 in cash. The Hermés bag was an exclusive Birkin model encrusted with gold and diamonds, priceless. The rest of the figures are also astronomical. A Chanel diamond brooch valued at around 750,000 euros; and another brooch that simulates a swan valued at around 600,000 euros. The family also insisted on the sentimental value of a 47-carat diamond ring valued at four million, and another, also made of diamonds, but more modest, for half a million euros. There were also two watches, a Bulgari for another 800,000 euros and a Chopard for 45,000. A Tiffany diamond bracelet for about 250,000 euros, a Versace diamond choker for 100,000 euros and earrings, also made of diamonds, for almost a million euros, too.
