Armed thieves, according to the police, burst out on Tuesday, June 28, in broad daylight at the Maastricht art fair (Netherlands) – one of the largest in Europe. A video broadcast on social networks and relayed in particular by a Dutch journalist shows four men in elegant clothes, caps and glasses smashing the showcase to the mass.

Two of the men brandish something that looks like weapons, facing a man who tried to intervene, armed with a large vase full of flowers.
