A gang of thieves stole during the early hours of Tuesday at the Celine accessories store, located on 16 Ortega y Gasset, in the heart of the capital's golden mile. The thieves seized about 140,000 euros in bags, purses and other objects that were in the store, which opened in March in that exclusive area of the city, according to police sources.
The assault occurred around 3.20 in the morning. Several hooded men stopped in front of the store and got out of a vehicle . First, they destroyed the metal shutter of the establishment and then managed to break the windows and enter it.
The thieves went to the area where the most expensive bags were. According to the first estimates, some 70 bags were taken, each valued at an average of 2,000 euros. They also got hold of several luxury wallets that were in that same area of the store.
Those responsible for the establishment went to the police station the same morning on Tuesday to report the facts. The agents already have the recordings of the security cameras of the premises, which opened at noon on Tuesday after fixing the damage caused by the assailants.
According to the first inquiries, the criminals could be members of a band of landlords who had been preparing the robbery in the same street of Ortega y Gasset.
