Thieves steal diamonds worth millions from fair
ZURICH |
ZURICH (Reuters) - Thieves stole four diamonds worth several million dollars from a trader's stand at the world's biggest watch and jewelry fair in Basel on Wednesday, prosecutors said.
"Three men engaged the staff in a sales talk while one or two others opened the showcase," said Markus Melzl, spokesman for the Basel prosecutor's office. "These were real pros who had done some research ahead."
Watch and jewelry makers meet retailers from all over the world at the Basel fair which closes its doors on Thursday.
