Munich police have arrested the alleged leaders of a crime operation responsible for up to a fifth of burglaries in Germany, they announced on Monday.
An investigation into the pan-European crime gang first started in January 2016 when undercover police officers watched three young women commit a break-in.
According to police, the women were clear professionals who acted in a fast and skillful manner with the right tools.
Investigators discovered that the young women, who claimed they were teenagers, were members of a massive criminal family group originating in Croatia.
Police went on to arrest 20 other young women in Munich, but these were just more "working bees.".
Police arrested two family leaders in Croatia, who were accused of leading one branch of the operation.
Police said they had recovered some watches and some rings that would be returned to their owners. »
