Jewelry Thieves Dazzle Lower Macungie Clerk
Kohl's reports pair switched expensive diamond ring with fake, police say.
If diamonds are a girl's best friend, they seem to have found a few fans in boys as well at in Lower Macungie Township, according to police.
said two men recently fancied a diamond ring enough to swap it with the store for another of little value. Problem was, a clerk didn't know a swap was made until it was too late.
Two black men between the ages of 20 and 30 were shopping for a diamond ring about 2:05 p.m. July 6, police said. A clerk assisted them in seeing a Cherish diamond ring in a white gold setting, but when they handed it back, they replaced the valuable ring with a similar-looking fake. Police did not provide the value of the store's ring.
