Man waits for woman at her home and steals valuable bracelets, three-year prison sentence

A man in his twenties has been sentenced to three years in prison for a violent robbery that occurred last November. The assailant targeted a woman outside her apartment complex as she returned from a party, waiting in the gallery to ambush her. He threatened the victim with physical violence, including death threats, before stealing four valuable bracelets from her wrist. The court characterized the act as a brutal, targeted robbery, noting that the man had prior convictions for similar crimes and showed no regard for the victim's well-being.

As a result of the trauma, the victim has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and continues to struggle with feelings of insecurity. Beyond the prison term, the court imposed a two-year contact and location ban to protect the woman. The perpetrator has also been ordered to pay 28,000 euros in damages to the victim. While the man expressed a desire to leave criminal life behind after serving his sentence, the court prioritized the severity of the offense and the victim's ongoing suffering in its ruling.
