The police are looking for robbers who stole valuable diamonds from the jewelry show at the City Centre yesterday evening. The owner reported that a necklace was taken by a young couple. It was worth 1.5 million. Witnesses said that a couple caught their eye because they seemed too young to be interested in such expensive jewelry. In his story, a salesman said that the couple were dressed in clothing that seemed too casual for the jewelry show. According to a saleswoman who talked with them, the couple said that they were interested in a special necklace for the woman to wear at their wedding next month. The man said that he was a well-known sportsman, so many reporters would come to the wedding ceremony.
The saleswoman left the couple looking at the necklace when she went to help an elderly man who fell out of his wheelchair. Unfortunately, when she got back, the couple and the necklace were gone. The police have realized that the old man was part of the robbery plan.
The police think the same gang of thieves robbed a hotel downtown last month. At that time, a woman was checking in when two men with guns threatened the hotel clerk. Although the clerk was very brave, he had to hand over all the money, about 1,500. Strangely, the woman who was checking in didn't seem afraid at all and she disappeared before the police arrived. The police are working hard to find the criminals.
