And finally… made of steal
Reading time: 1 minute
A trio of thieves disguised as construction workers stole a safe containing more than $3.2 million (c. £2.44m) worth of jewellery from a New York home last month, police said.
The suspects, dressed in neon vests and hard hats, broke into the Jamaica Hills residence through a back door around 2 pm on October 16 before hauling away the safe and fleeing in a blue Hyundai Elantra.
No one was injured, and police are still searching for the suspects – all men, seen wearing construction clothing and carrying black backpacks.
The elaborate disguise echoes a similar heist days later in Paris, where thieves dressed as workers used a cherry picker to steal $102m in jewels from the Louvre Museum.
