Selfies With $20K in Stolen Jewelry

The Swanland, UK, resident had been the manager of a luxury jewelry shop called Daniella Draper Beverly until just before her sailing. During her tenure at the fine jewelry establishment, the 39-year-old’s colleagues noticed that she had a suspicious habit of taking the merchandise with her when she left work, allegedly to sort stock from the comfort of her own home. After about a year, Roberts resigned from the company and embarked on a cruise on an unidentified ship. But according to the police reports, approximately £14,895 (or $20,463 USD) went with her. Roberts sent photos of herself clad in the stolen jewels and gems to her colleagues, thinking they wouldn’t recognize the pieces. Of course, staff flagged the photos to management because they suspected that Roberts had not purchased them. The police were then contacted and a warrant for her arrest was issued. The stolen jewelry that came on the cruise were found with Roberts when she was arrested in London’s Heathrow Airport following disembarkation. A search of her bedroom at home revealed an additional 269 stolen jewelry items worth around £107,965 (or $148,327 USD). Police estimate that she stole an estimated £124,675 (or $171,267) in jewelry and cash when all was said and done. With the evidence stacked against her, Roberts entered a guilty plea when she appeared at the Grimsby Crown Court, where she was charged with theft by an employee. #selfiesofstolenjewelry #stolenjewelry #whill_us #chilliefalls #chilliescruises #cruisenews To subscribe: http://bit.ly/chi-fal
