Brazen Thieves Steal $10,000 Jewel In New Brunswick Diamond Swap

This looks like a job for the Scooby-Doo kids! Sadly, after the overdoses that won't be the case. Turns out they weren't Scooby snacks.

Story out of Saint John, New Brunswick:

A New Brunswick jeweller says daring thieves walked off with a 10-thousand dollar diamond last Friday by switching it with a fake.

The owner of W. Smith and Company Fine Jewellers in Saint John says a middle-aged couple came in and asked the clerk to see a single diamond worth 10 grand.

They began to argue as a distraction, then the man asked to see a 25-thousand-dollar diamond.

Smith says he decided to speak out because he was angry, because his insurance deductible is so high it won’t cover the loss, and because a store video is so clear the public can help nab them. Cont.
