The Neapolitans do not have a monopoly on the tear -offs of luxury watches in Geneva. If several of them have recently been convicted of this type of lacins, the epilogue of a black series that occurred in December 2023 diverges: it was the result of two young Moroccans, including a minor. The oldest compiled under different alias the misdeeds in Europe for three years: in France in 2020, the Netherlands and Switzerland in 2021, in Germany and Spain in 2023.
In December of this last year, over a very short four -day period, four tocantes had been stolen from the wrists of their owners. The “Tribune de Genève” had reported two of these brigandes: the police planned that they were linked. Rightly.
On the 13th, at 1 a.m., in the district of Rive, the duo had torn off an Audemars Piguet worth 24,400 francs to the arm of a man coming out of his Mercedes. The same day, in the evening, in the banks district, they believed to subtract a Patek Philippe from a onlookers coming out of a restaurant. She will prove to be false. The next day, in the same district, in the evening, Banco: the patek steeped in the wrist of a man seated in his Porsche was worth 50,000 francs. Their journey will stop on the 16th, on a train, after they stole a new patek at 41,500 francs in Chernex (VD), near Montreux.
The first two watches have disappeared. The fourth was in the minor’s pants during the rail control led by the police. The fate of the third is original: when it was released from prison in March 2024, the youngest was spinned by the police. He quickly went to a small path to the Croptes, behind the station, where, under a bush, he unearthed a dog droppings for dog containing the patek, which he put on his wrist before being challenged.
