Jewel thieves make off with $1,800 bracelet from north end jewelry store
NANAIMO — A theft seemingly right out of a movie happened at a north end Nanaimo jewelry store.
It happened Wednesday afternoon when two men entered the store. They were the only ones there at the time.
According to RCMP, one of the two men pocketed an $1,800 bracelet while being shown various items by the lone clerk.
RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said it was a highly skilled theft. “Most likely they’ve been involved in other thefts, so we’re hoping we’ll get some information from the public. They may not even be from the Nanaimo area.”
