According to police sources, "two individuals wearing gloves and balaclavas" forced their way into the store before stealing several designer handbags. The perpetrators then fled before the police arrived.
The estimated damages amount to 200.000 euros.
The estimated value of the damage is around €200.000, according to initial assessments provided by investigators. The exact circumstances of the burglary are still being investigated, including the vehicle used to break into the shop and the route taken by the suspects after their escape.

An investigation has been launched to identify the perpetrators of the robbery.
