Gang mug hits and goldsmith

From "big hammer" in hand, a group of encapuzados broke with the two security doors and destroyed the interior of the Millennium jewelery in the town of Tirau in Guimaraes. From shotgun pointed to the owner and then they have beaten, had a real cleaning of pieces of gold and watches from shop windows and drawers of cupboards.

"Many thousands of euros in damage. Not sure I want to evaluate. Destroyed everything," said the goldsmith to BC Acúrcio Saraiva, confessing to be shaken and with doubts about the future. "This time was too much, I should not proceed with jewelery," off, pointing out that this was the most violent of the three assaults that suffered in the last three years.

Three encapuzados entered the jewelery by 11.00 yesterday, while fourth element was the wait at the wheel of a black Honda Civic. The parents and a sister of Acúrcio saw us coming, but they put themselves on the run. Goldsmith was inside the store, detained by estrondos of violent blows of the hammer. Though not offer resistance, was insulted, threatened with death and also was the target of punches and kicks to the body. Jewelery, located less than a kilometer from node to access the A11, only to a small showcase of watches and some pieces in gold, mixed with the glass breaking.
