A jewellery retailer in a township in New Jersey was conned by a team of thieves, who stole polished diamonds worth $100,000. Robert Tindall, the owner of Tindall Diamonds and Jewelry in Robbinsville, New Jersey, was heard stating that a woman who pretended to be potential customer distracted him enough to allow her partners in crime to make a move and conduct the whole activity.
Apparently one man first entered the store and asked to see some loose diamonds, and ten minutes later, another couple walked in and engaged him at the other end of the counter. Tindall noted that both the first man and the couple had a similar accent, which led him to wonder if they were a group. Soon after, the first person leaned over the counter and removed a box of diamonds, and the three made a quit exit.
