Around two months after an attack on a jewelry store in Berlin-Spandau, the alleged robber stood before the regional court.

The 44-year-old said at the start of the trial on Thursday because he wanted to pay off debts.

He apologizes.

According to the indictment, he threatened a saleswoman and the shopkeeper with a blank gun and forced them to open the showcases.

Berlin - When he had already stowed jewelry worth around 12,000 euros in his backpack, he was arrested by the police who had been alerted while he was still in the shop.

The defendant further stated that a few days before the crime he had traveled to Berlin with the weapon in his luggage in order to raise money. He did not have ammunition. The background to the crime on the morning of August 16 this year were debts that he had incurred in connection with a snack bar that he wanted to open in his Serbian homeland. He felt threatened by his family and by the lenders.

According to the investigation, the 44-year-old butcher asked the 71-year-old shopkeeper by gestures to open the showcases and help him remove items.

He put 347 rings, 18 necklaces and other pieces of jewelry in his backpack.

When the perpetrator bent down after two rings that had fallen on the floor, he was able to escape from the shop, the shopkeeper said.

He had already succeeded in triggering the alarm unnoticed.

Police arrested the accused.
