The pictures are barely believable.
This Tuesday, while the European art fair (Tefaf) is being held in Maastricht in the Netherlands, burglars broke in during the day.
On a video broadcast on social networks, we can see at least three armed men, decked out in caps and glasses, surrounding another individual, who, armed with a mace, attacks one of the windows of this fair.

All of this… right in the middle of the visitors, some of whom fled from the men with guns pointed at them.

The group of criminals then ran away, stealing one of the objects present in the broken window.
Near them, a visitor seated on a bench, watches the scene completely dumbfounded.
"The police are investigating a possible armed robbery," local police said on Twitter, indicating that the thugs are "now wanted by several units."
In a second tweet, she mentioned "two arrests" and specified that certain roads surrounding the fair are closed to traffic.
