Several criminals did not tire of beating the windows (display cases) of a jewelry store, located in a shopping center in Polanco, considered an “exclusive” area of ​​Mexico City.

The men were filmed by bewildered patrons of the grand establishment. The security cameras also have their recordings of the impressive robbery. There were four subjects and their faces were covered with facemasks (masks).

One of the attackers was “singing the zone” and making sure no one came close. The other three went against the establishment again and again, gavel in hand.

Upstairs, the footage captured two young people, shoppers at the mall, running when they heard the repeated beatings.

The clock said Monday, June 26, 7:05 PM. It took less than five minutes to get the loot: about 15 watches from the prestigious Rolex brand. They didn’t rule out being loaded with some Cartier. Other versions indicate that the crime was committed between 8 and 10 minutes.

And safety?

However, what made such an impression – like the criminal action – was the non-existent response of the mall’s security guards and the more than 10 or 15 long minutes it took for the police officers to arrive.

The attacked jewelry store is called Berger and is located in the Plaza Antara shopping center.

The widely circulated footage shows a guard lying on the ground, near the subject he “tended” and prevented them from interrupting the attack.

“The private security personnel here were not armed,” said Mauricio Tabe, mayor of Mexico City’s Manuel Hidalgo, as he approached and toured Plaza Antara.

The images have shocked the country and made authorities promise that the theft “will not go unpunished”.

Rest assured, we will do justice and these thieves will be arrested.
