Glendale, Calif.–Police are looking for six suspects wanted for their roles in allegedly carrying out a distraction theft at a California jewelry store.
According to the Glendale Police Department, on June 14, two suspects approached the owner of Honolulu Jewelers as he was closing, asking to make a quick purchase. The owner agreed, allowing six people–five women and one man–to enter the store.
…..The Jewelers’ Security Alliance has identified the six as being members of the nomadic ethnic group Roma, also known as Gypsies, though President John Kennedy said they do not know at this time if this group is related to other thefts, in particular the surge in distraction thefts seen last fall. …..
