The suspect, Sheikh Nur Rahman (pictured), moved with such confidence during the heist in the shop that when police examined CCTV footage, it was immediatel­y apparent the theft had to be an insider job. He knew the location of the water dispenser, had the perfect screwdrive­rs, and knew where high-value items were stored.

1 The suspect had been working at the jewellery showroom for over a year. During the last three months, he keenly surveyed each corner of the four-storey shop, identifyin­g locations of the CCTVS, the kind and make of locks, the screws on the lockers, etc

2 Based on his observatio­ns, he drew a plan, watched Youtube videos and bought instrument­s such as gas-cutters

3 On Tuesday night, he got inside the building by cutting a hole into the terrace of the generator room on the fourth floor

After stuffing the jewellery in his backpack and suitcase, he left through the same path
