In the town of Sarstedt, Germany, a massive heist carried out with speed and technology reminiscent of movie scenes has dominated the national agenda. Professional thieves broke into a warehouse belonging to Atelva Media GmbH, used signal jammers to disable security systems, and stole 4,000 smartphones in just 10 minutes before vanishing. Following the heist worth approximately 850,000 Euros, the company owner Tarık Aziz announced a 150,000 Euro reward for the capture of the perpetrators.

The damage is reported to be around 850 thousand euros.   

SECURITY SYSTEM DISABLED WITH SIGNAL JAMMER 

Although the warehouse was protected by cameras and modern alarm systems 24 hours a day, it was revealed that the thieves used a technological method. During the robbery, the suspects used a jammer (signal blocker), preventing the alarm from being activated. Although the security system activated 10 minutes later and released smoke bombs into the area, the suspects had already fled.

150 THOUSAND EURO BOUNTY PLACED ON THEIR HEADS 

Businessman Tarik Aziz, who suffered a major financial loss, promised a rarely seen reward for the capture of the perpetrators. Aziz

announced that he would give a 50 thousand euro reward to the person or persons who share information that reveals the identity of the suspects.  An additional 100 thousand euro reward will be paid if the stolen products are returned.

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES: 3 SUSPECTS IN THE TARGET

The Hildesheim Prosecutor's Office confirmed that the robbery was carried out by at least three people, while a single image captured on camera recorded second by second the moments when two masked individuals forced the aluminum door.  

Due to the confidentiality and security of the investigation, authorities are not yet sharing operational details with the public.
