A woman’s best friend is diamonds. And sapphire. And ruby. And all other beautiful gems known. They are equally valuable to the dealer and jewelers. Here is a report on the robbery of those precious gems.
British police were hunting for an unidentified man on Tuesday after a suitcase containing 1 million pounds ($1.3 million) worth of gems was stolen from a luggage rack on a train at London’s Euston station.
The owner, a 35-year-old jewelry dealer, boarded a train to Birmingham on Nov. 8 but when the train arrived at Rugby in central England, he discovered that his suitcase of rubies, emeralds, and sapphires was no longer on the luggage rack.
Police released a grainy image of a man who they said they would like to speak to.
“I would like to speak to the man in the CCTV images about this extremely high-value luggage theft,” Det. Sgt. Nick Thompson from British Transport Police said.
“The suitcase was a large black suitcase and contained more than 40 gems such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.”
