TWO unarmed robbers got away with the three most expensive diamond
rings in a shop in Limassol yesterday morning. The rings were worth
around â~B¬20,000.

The two men entered the Tonia Jewellery shop at 9.15am on Ayios
Andreas Street in Limassol. One of them pretended to be a customer
while the second stood at the entrance of the shop.

Speaking in Russian to the employee, who was of Armenian origin, he
said he was interested in buying diamond rings. The thirty-year-old
woman showed him a collection of diamond rings but he reportedly
said he was not very impressed and asked to see the most expensive
ones available.

She then presented him the three most expensive diamond rings. After
examining the rings the ‘client’ put them in his pocket and made his
way to the exit. Taken by surprise, the woman grabbed him by the
arm to stop him, but he violently grabbed her by the neck, pushed
her and pinned her to the ground. He then made a dash for the exit,
and along with his accomplice jumped into a car and fled the scene.

The getaway car was found abandoned shortly afterwards in a road
behind the crime scene. An eye witness testified that he saw the
two perpetrators get into a red car after abandoning the getaway
car. The police took the abandoned car for examination. According
to the preliminary investigation, forensics recovered a number of
fingerprints. The CCTV tape from the shop was also taken by the
police. The thieves appeared to be of central Asian origin.

Police said that based on the data available, "the robbers will soon
be identified and arrested".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
