Cops alert public to jewelry distraction thefts
Residents in York Region are being warned of jewelry distraction thefts in Markham after police said the same suspects were involved in two incidents this week.
York Regional Police issued the alert Friday of the distraction-style thefts that they say most often target seniors.
According to police, the suspects drive through neighbourhoods looking for vulnerable individuals who are alone and wearing visible jewelry. One suspect may approach the victim on foot or lure them closer to a vehicle by asking for directions.
During a brief interaction, cops said the suspect will remove the victim’s jewelry and replace it with fake gold items such as a bracelet, ring or necklace before quickly fleeing the area.
The alert comes after a female suspect approached victims in grocery store parking lots on Thursday and attempted to engage them in conversation while offering fake gold jewelry.
After stealing the jewelry, she ran to a grey Honda sedan occupied by additional suspects and the vehicle drove away, police said.
There were no injuries reported in either incident.
Police suggest being cautious of strangers attempting to speak with you in public and advise citizens to be wary of individuals who are overly friendly but intrude on your personal space.
