Attesa Limited Edition by CITIZEN
All of Girard-Perregauxa€™s stolen watches were found in a bag hidden under an oak tree in Valdahon 48 hours after they had been stolen from the Museum La Villa Marguerite. The burglars had entered the museum pretending to be deliverymen, tying and binding a cleaning lady before escaping with several million Swiss Francs of antique and contemporary timepieces.
A couple of hours after the burglars had escaped; two suspects were stopped by the French gendarmerie in the region of Valdahon. Two cars, corresponding to vehicles the police were looking for, broke through a road blockade, making a u-turn and crossing four lanes. After 45 minutes, the police stopped one of the vehicles, which was travelling the wrong way up a one-way street. The second vehicle, a BMM X5 with German license plates managed to escape.
The police found gloves in the intercepted car that immediately allowed them to link the car and its passengers to the crime. An international arrest warrant was issued for the two suspects who were from the Balkans. Both men were incarcerated and will be extradited.
A search was launched for the missing watches and they were finally found hidden under an oak tree. The police are still looking for a third man and possibly other accomplices.
The Examining Magistrate, Sylvie Favre, praised the excellent collaboration between the police and legal forces of NeuchA?tel and France for their excellent work that led to a happy ending for this crime.
