Red Deer Diamond Heist
Another diamond heist has left an Alberta store out thousands of dollars worth of the gems.
On Friday at 5:25 p.m., two men walked into Polar Jewellers in Red Deer where one asked to be shown loose diamonds while the other stood near the entrance. The man grabbed an undisclosed number of diamonds worth $35,000, said Red Deer RCMP.
Both fled the store and jumped into a new, white Ford F150 and sped off, eventually crashing into another truck but still continuing.
The truck was found abandoned two hours later near Wetaskiwin.
One suspect is a shorter Caucasian in his early 20s with short, dark hair and wearing a dark football jersey with a gold number 25, black shorts and dark baseball cap. The second suspect is a heavy-set Caucasian male in his early 20s with light hair and wearing a black T-shirt and jean shorts.
The truck fled at a high rate of speed, colliding with a vehicle in Red Deer before being abandoned near Wetaskiwin a couple of hours later. One of the suspects is described as a short Caucasian man in his early 20s, with short dark-coloured hair. He was wearing black shorts, a dark baseball cap and a dark football jersey with a gold No. 25 on it.
The second man is described as a heavy set Caucasian man, also in his 20s, with lighter coloured hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt and jean shorts.
Last month, two men made off with thousands of dollars of diamond jewelry after a heist at Ben Moss Jewelers at Kingsway Garden Mall.
