Prada factory heist: How the thieves operated
As reported by the media outlet, the perpetrators breached the factory entrance using vehicles, while their actions indicate careful planning of the raid, according to preliminary investigations.
Specifically, the thieves blocked the access road with vans and cars parked along its entire length to prevent the arrival of security services and police.
It was later discovered that all these vehicles were stolen. The carabinieri who arrived at the scene were forced to continue on foot to the crime scene due to obstacles in the final stretch of road before the factory.
Stole 300-400 pairs of luxury shoes
It should be noted that Italian law enforcement immediately began investigations and are currently checking footage from security cameras in the area. Although the exact financial damage has not yet been determined, initial estimates indicate the theft of between 300 and 400 pairs of luxury shoes, while the total value of the loot reaches several hundreds of thousands of euros. The factory produces approximately 700 pairs of luxury shoes daily.
