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.
