Hong Kong police in search for 12-year-old jewel thief

HONG Kong police said they are hunting a girl aged between 12 and 14 suspected of stealing a diamond-studded gold necklace worth more than HK$36 million (US$4.6 million) from a luxury jewelry store.

The youngster is accused of helping carry out the audacious theft with two women and a man, all aged between 30 and 40. The adults “pretended to be customers choosing items from the shop” police said, while the girl stole the necklace. The three adults then left the store before a staff member realized it was missing. The necklace was embedded with more than 30 diamonds totaling about 100 carats, the South China Morning Post said. The girl stole a key from a drawer to open a cabinet while staff were distracted, the report said, citing police.
