Overview
- The break-in at a fourth-floor flat on Via Archimede was discovered Tuesday morning by the housekeeper while the 77-year-old architect owner was away in Fregene.
- Initial findings indicate the burglars used façade scaffolding and a boiler pipe to reach a balcony, then forced a door or window to enter.
- A wall safe was removed with luxury watches, including Rolex, Cartier and Patek Philippe, along with gold jewelry, for an estimated loss of about €300,000.
- No arrests have been reported, and investigators have not fixed the time of entry, which may have occurred over the weekend, as they analyze building and street camera footage.
- Forensic officers searched for fingerprints and other traces; the apartment reportedly lacked internal cameras, and the reason the alarm did not trigger remains unclear.
