Dubai Police successfully prevented a $25M pink diamond theft by capturing three suspects within eight hours. Using deception involving wealth displays, these individuals nearly stole this rare gem brought from Europe.
The Dubai Police General Command successfully thwarted an elaborate heist involving a rare pink diamond valued at $25 million. This exceptional gem, certified by prestigious international institutes for its clarity, possesses a mere 0.01% chance of being found elsewhere. Dubbed "Pink Diamond," the operation culminated in the arrest of an Asian gang comprising three members who orchestrated this sophisticated crime.
Diamond's Journey from Europe
The intricate details emerged as Dubai Police revealed that the diamond had been brought from a European country to be sold in the jeweler’s store in Dubai. The criminals meticulously tracked its journey and devised plans to deceive the owner into believing they were wealthy intermediaries buying on behalf of a rich client.
Deceptive Appearances
To gain trust, the gang members arranged meetings with the jeweler, flaunting luxury cars and choosing opulent hotels as venues. These illusions aimed solely at persuading him to remove the diamond from his shop under the pretense of showcasing it to their alleged affluent buyer.
Despite his reluctance due to its immense value, the jeweler was eventually convinced after witnessing a renowned global diamond expert evaluating the gem, seemingly validating their purchasing intent.
Swift Justice Within Hours
The plan succeeded up to a point where they lured him into bringing the jewel to a villa but seized it instead and fled. Shortly afterward, upon receiving his report of theft, Dubai Police formed a specialized team that utilized smart systems and field efforts to identify and capture all involved within eight hours.
A Failed Escape Plan
The investigation uncovered their failed attempt to smuggle the gem out of Dubai by concealing it inside a mini-fridge destined for Asia via cargo services.
Dubai Police underscored their unwavering commitment to maintaining safety standards in line with UAE's leadership directive, making Dubai one of the world’s safest cities with high-quality service provision focused on safeguarding rights and properties through cutting-edge technologies.
