A woman was arrested on Wednesday, October 18, as a suspect in the theft of a safe containing around R$ 1 million worth of jewelry and diamonds from a jewelry store known for serving digital influencers in Moema, São Paulo. The crime took place in the early hours of Monday, October 16, when thieves broke into the establishment on the 12th floor of a commercial building at Alameda dos Maracatins, stealing a safe that weighed nearly half a ton. Authorities also detained a doorman believed to have facilitated the entry of the criminals to the store.

The investigation revealed that the heist was meticulously planned days in advance. The suspects had been surveilling the area for about a week to assess the store's traffic and operations. They seemed aware of the locations of security cameras and wiring systems, as they managed to cover some cameras with tape and stole other monitoring equipment. The criminals forced entry into three rooms of the jewelry store, demonstrating a high degree of premeditation and knowledge about the store's layout.

This theft raises concerns about the security measures at commercial establishments, particularly those catering to high-profile clientele such as influencers. With the increasing trend of targeting luxury stores by organized crime, this incident not only highlights the risks associated with jewelry stores but also stresses the need for enhanced security protocols to prevent such crimes in the future.
