One of the most successful sports stars, within his sport, suspected of a smash-and-grab-coup at Stureplan in Stockholm. The change became luxary bags worth a million crowns (kronor).
The star athlete, who deny the charges, were arrested after a dramatic car chase
It was just after 05 on Friday morning when the alarm went off in the exclusive store Bottega Veneta at Birger in Stockholm. Store surveillance camera recorded the three people struggled to get in to the store.
- They hit the entrance with a metal object. It probably took five minutes before they were inside, says one of the store employees.
Despite the lengthy process did the police not arrive on time.
- When the thieves had emptied the shop at the most expensive bags and ran out again. They knew exactly what they were after, continues the employees, who appreciate the value of the stolen goods to about a million crowns (kronor).
Police took up the chase on the getaway car and got a stop on it.
- We have two detainees. One of them is suspected of aggravated theft and the other for abetting larceny, said prosecutors call Olof Calmvik.
Denies the allegations
The athlete who is suspected of aggravated theft in recent years has had great success in their sport.
- My client denied the charges against him. Much more, I can not say until we see how this evolved, says his lawyer Ivan Fialdini.
By tomorrow prosecutors must decide whether the men should be requested detained or released. If the men convicted, they risk imprisonment for up to six years.
