A Manhattan Beach jewelry store is sharing the video of a recent ‘distraction theft’ that cost them more than $15k worth of jewelry, hoping it will prevent others from falling prey to these perpetrators.
Listen:
Seta, the manager of By Musti Fine Jewelry, told KNX News reporter Nataly Tavidian she looked away for a split second, and when she realized what happened, “I felt violated.”
Seta said the man was “pointing to the other case and asking me questions about some other products there.” While he distracted Seta, the woman reached out and took a pouch off the display case.
