Like in an action movie, uA group of criminals planned the millionaire heist that took place between January 1-2. In a private residential complex in the Salitre sector, northwest of Bogotá.
(
A trophy of 1,000 million pesos, which authorities estimate the thieves may have taken after searching the luxury apartment of a merchant family. It would appear that the criminals would enter the building disguised, having managed to evade the security checks.
“We are going on vacation from 30 December around noon. I have verified myself that the doors and windows are well closed and that everything is locked.. However, when we got back, the door was unlocked and it was not forced”, as Ana María Jiménez*, the owner of the affected property, told the truth.
The clues to this heist don’t seem all that clear. According to those investigating the case, versions of how it happened criminals It is still scattered throughout the building as security personnel have confirmed that they have not noticed anything strange and that there were never any unknown persons or workers not authorized to enter, as normal behavior should be.
But there is a key element in the investigations conducted by the prosecution. ITC It was learned that the electricity of the apartment on the 10th floor was cut off before the incident and that at least 5 more apartments will be affected by this interruption compared to other residents. One of the witnesses assures that someone came to the tower to turn off the light.
Again, that night watch organization assures that there is no strange income. In the security document for visitors and non-residents, there is no record of any visits to the looted apartment or tower for energy control.
“There was no light when my daughter came, but she noticed something strange on the floor. She went to lift her heels and there she noticed that the flat had been robbed. “We asked if the power was cut off and they told us no, they said they came to cut everyone’s electricity off, which seemed very suspicious to us,” he said.
In this case, however, there are more factors that lead the authorities to believe that the offender(s) had already examined the family and had even been in the group for hours or days before.
According to the story of one of those affected, the thieves would have privately arrived at the safe’s location with several million pesos. They also broke the backs of the cabinets and beds. Both things are embedded in the wall.
That’s why they say researchersIt’s as if the criminals are looking for a certain item hidden inside the luxury apartment. It seems that the main door is opened with the corresponding key, which raises all sorts of suspicions. The safe didn’t show any signs of a struggle either.
But the family there victim of millionaire robbery He states that they did not encounter any suspicious situation in their place of residence, that they were cautious about the information they gave to their friends and neighbors, and that such an incident had happened to them for the first time.
In fact, among the hypotheses that the authorities are considering, it is thought that someone who knows the family, knows their movements and the items hidden in the tenth-floor duplex may have been involved in the incident or that he was the person who revealed the details. that others may have entered to commit the crime.
However, so far these are only hypotheses, as the researchers say they have analyzed. security videos and fingerprints of the place those removed from the scene.
This is not the first time an event of this magnitude has happened in the private sector. EL TIEMPO had told me a few months ago that a gang of apartment dwellers had disguised as general service personnel and given scopolamine to an old man and stole some money from him. 800 million pesos He hid this in his apartment, too.
Although the authorities say they are investigating the facts, they also warn that this area has become a favorite of apartment thieves and urges citizens to take extreme security measures inside their homes.
