HOT Diamonds...really HOT!

Over the past 2 weeks there have been a rash of robberies for Fine Jewelry. I have it on good source that there was a early morning tie-up robbery at Lord & Taylor (Ridge Hill, NY). This weekend two thieves smashed and grabbed at the Four Seasons and in Paris two men held up the De Beers boutique in Printemps department store and made off with jewelry worth between 1 million and 3 million euros, or $2.7 million and $4 million at current exchange, in the early evening hours Tuesday.

Armed with handguns and equipped with bulletproof vests, the robbers entered the South African diamond dealer’s stand, located on the first floor of the department store, at around 6:45 p.m., a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office in Paris confirmed. They did not fire their weapons and no one was harmed, she said.

According to French media reports, the thieves left shortly after, nearly unnoticed, through the personnel exit at the back of the store, which could suggest they were familiar with the premises. I'm looking up my Diamonds tonight!!!!
