BEIRUT ¨C The thief entered the jewelry store disguised as a woman, in a black gown and face veil, then drew a pistol and an assault rifle to rob the place.
He shattered a glass case, shot and wounded two employees and swiped more than $200,000 in gold before shooting dead a police officer, dumping his body in the gutter and speeding off in the officer¡¯s car.
The robbery in May 2017 in Duba, on Saudi Arabia¡¯s Red Sea coast, was captured in surveillance footage that shocked the kingdom, and a young man now sits on death row for the crime.
