$1m Mid-Day Jewellery Heist
Posted on Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 at 12:09pmWhoever this was must have had some nerve. Police in Milan are investigating a $1m (£628,420) robbery from a jewellery store in the heart of Milan.
Staff at Pederzani's thought nothing was wrong when a window cleaner arrived to clean some plate glass. Leaning his ladder against the window, the staff thought nothing was amiss, but instead of cleaning the glass, he unscrewed it, and stole $1m worth of jewels. Walking off into the bustling crowd, with the jewels in his bucket, he was gone, before anybody knew any different!
