Serbian woman sought over £30 million jewellery heist in 2022

A Serbian woman has been added to Europol's most wanted list for allegedly helping robbers escape a £30 million jewellery heist at a Dutch art fair in 2022.

Europol has added 41-year-old Ninoslava Jovic to its most wanted list following a jewellery heist at the TEFAF art and antiques fair in Maastricht, Netherlands, on 28 June 2022. Four men stole items from British jeweller Symbolic and Chase during the raid, which is believed to have netted around £30 million. The robbers, wearing flat caps and suspected to be members of the Pink Panther criminal group, fled the scene.

Jovic is accused of providing logistical support for the gang's escape rather than participating directly in the theft. According to investigators, she is suspected of arranging accommodation for the suspects and helping them flee through Austria and Hungary towards Serbia. Serbian media reports suggest she was filmed driving one of the hired getaway cars.

Police believe Jovic is currently living in Nis, Serbia, though they have warned she may travel to other countries. She is described as having brown eyes, blonde or brown hair and distinctive tattoos on both forearms. Four Serbian men have also been added to Europol's most wanted list in connection with the heist: Aleksandar Cenic, Aleksandar Stojiljkovic, Dusko Dimitrijevic and Bratislav Stojanovic. The Limburg Public Prosecution Office is offering a reward of around £17,000 for information leading to arrests.
