Millions robbed in jewelry store
A few days ago, unknown persons robbed a jewelry store on Rämistrasse in Zurich and fled with loot worth well over 1 million Swiss francs. Thanks to video surveillance, images of two perpetrators exist.
On Saturday, February 20, at around 12:20 a.m., three men entered the jewelry store "Harry Hofmann" at Rämistrassse 33 in Zurich. According to the police, the unknown men suddenly pulled out a handgun, threatened the sales staff and stole numerous pieces of jewelry, precious stones and cash. Shortly afterwards, the perpetrators fled on foot in the direction of Heimplatz with loot worth well over 1 million Swiss francs. The alarmed Zurich City Police immediately went out and initiated a manhunt for the fugitive perpetrators. Fortunately, the sales staff present, a man and a woman, were unharmed.
