Jewellery Store Robbed in Ayia Napa in Under 3 Minutes, Loot Estimated at €1 Million

Three hooded individuals robbed a jewellery store in Ayia Napa in just 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The perpetrators bypassed the security shutters and smashed the storefront windows to gain access to the store. Police are meticulously reviewing footage from the closed-circuit television system, hoping to find clues that will lead to the identification of the suspects. Initial estimates placed the value of the stolen goods at €200,000, however, newer information suggests that the loot, including diamonds, could be worth up to €1 million. The alarm system was triggered around 4 am, and the store manager notified the police.
