The clock marked the first minutes of the afternoon when the thief entered the jewelry store. Gun in hand, and threatening an employee, he began scouring the premises for jewelry, high-end watches, and anything else that could be taken. Only 190 seconds passed, but in that time he made a million dollar loot. These are the images released by a prosecutor, who is trying to identify the author of the robbery, a thief nicknamed “The blond‘.

More than six months have passed since this theft perpetrated in a place in the neighborhood of Buenos Aires PalermoHowever, justice continues to seek the subject.

The calendar marked July 22 when this man entered the business premises on avenue Scalabrini Ortiz and began to reduce the three people who were there – two women and a man. Immediately afterwards, he seized cash, watches, and gold and silver goods. From stained glass to the safe, he left nothing to chance. However, the detail of the cameras prompts Justice to find her capture.

“As can be seen in the images captured by the security cameras of the place and which have been processed by the General Directorate of Investigations and Technological Support for Criminal Investigations (DATIP), the author is a man between 35 and 45 years old, dark blonde hair with shaved sides and bangs. He wore denim pants, a blue sweater and jacket, and white sneakers with black detailing and laces,” the prosecutor’s office reported.

At first, the criminal points a gun at a woman who was in the central hall of the jewelry store and takes her to an internal office, where another employee and the local safe were located. There he points them and loads the gun up the slide. “I’m not playing, okay?” ‘El Rubio’ said.

Then he said to one of the two employees: “Go and open the front window, where the TAGs are. Let’s see the little key? Do you charge me?” asks the thief in reference to the brand of high-end watches he intended to take and which were displayed in one of the store’s windows.

Don’t fuck with me, huh? Pull yourself well, lying face down. I opened the window and come here, come, come, move quickly!” said the delinquent to the two hostages who were lying on the ground, while he gave the order to the other employee, with the key, to open the window where the clocks were.

Once all the employees were ashore, “El Rubio” devoted himself to emptying the safe, throwing everything he found – money, jewelry and envelopes – into a pink bag from the women’s clothing store “Las Kernels “.

Immediately afterwards, he asks one of the employees to open the door for him, leaving the other two lying on the ground.
