Mannheim Regional Courtville Tribunal - Trial Commences for Millions-Worthy Jewelry Heist
In November 2023, a 39-year-old man will face justice in Mannheim District Court at 10 am. He's accused, together with four alleged accomplices, of stealing approximately 994,500 euros' worth of jewelry from a jewelry store in Mannheim back in October. According to the court's representative, as outlined in the indictment, the group executed the robbery by breaking through the store's front door. They reportedly employed firecrackers and smoke bombs to hinder those who might try to interfere with their actions.
The group managed to steal several gold items such as bracelets, chains, and earrings. At the time of the robbery, they were not fully secured. The accused individual was apprehended in October, and he's been incarcerated since then. Authorities found a sizeable screwdriver on him, which has led to a theft with a weapon charge. If found guilty, the man could spend up to ten years in prison. No one was hurt during the burglary, the court states.
The trial has two additional hearing dates set up, and a final judgement is expected by mid-June.
