Rolex gang was very violent: ‘the teeth had to be put together like a puzzle’

Four men who violently assaulted Rolex owners in 2018 and 2019 faced trial today. In any case, they do not deny a robbery and say they are sorry. The police turned out to have bugged them for a few weeks.

It concerns a total of nineteen robberies. Victims became attacked from behind and usually beaten and kicked. They were often hit in the face. The perpetrators did not always operate, but often in the same composition. Because a victim recognized one of the two cars they were using, the police placed eavesdropping devices in both cars.

Of the violent robbery of René van Dam, Nicolette van Dam’s father, images were shown from a security camera at a bank on Apollolaan in South. At that time, eavesdropping equipment had been in the suspects’ Volkswagen for a few weeks. On the audio recordings, which were played in court, you can hear that the suspects are laughing after the very violent robbery. “He was all covered with (sic) blood,” said one of them.

Van Dam was seriously injured in the abuse. According to the judge, ‘an incredible amount has been broken’ on his head. Six teeth hung loose, two layers out. His upper jaw was hanging loose. ‘It had to be put together like a kind of puzzle’, Van Dam told the police. Also cerebrospinal fluid leaked from his nose. He has still not recovered and did not want to be at the session today.

‘I unfortunately hit the adrenaline, the speed. It hit a lot harder than I intended, ”said a suspect who, according to the judge, is known as a“ talented kickboxer ”. He also denied the latter. ‘I have lived next door to the community center all my life and used to visit it very often. Not only for kickboxing, but also for cooking, but I’ve never kickboxed parties. ‘

The watch was taken after the robbery, but was never found. After the robbery of Van Dam, the car got stuck. One of them was arrested. The other three were able to run. The judge said it was likely that one of the three fleeing suspects had it with him and asked them several times where the watch was.

Then one suspect suddenly looked to the right and started talking to another suspect. “You have the watch, you just have to confess, friend, just take responsibility.” But he denied: ‘Madam judge, I think he just chooses the easiest victim. He just has to pay for it. ‘

A good friend of Van Dam read a victim statement. ‘My life has changed in a terrible way. I thought I was alone and never saw you coming. I wonder what you felt when you hit my head. Did you feel good? Do you feel strong? ‘

In the statement, 62-year-old Van Dam said during the robbery that after the operation he was afraid that he would still die, because there were fears of meningitis. He has constant pain in his jaw and therefore has to think about the robbery every day. He also no longer feels safe. “I describe my life from February 20 to now as hell.”
