The Japanese police were looking Friday for a 50-carat diamond, worth 1.6 million euros, stolen from Yokohama at a jewelry show.
"The stolen diamond is estimated at 200 million yen, and we believe it was caught in the window where it was exposed," a spokesman for the police told AFP. This rare piece was presented during a trade show in the Pacifico exhibition center in Yokohama, a suburb of Tokyo.
According to the NHK public channel, the robbery was found at the end of the day Thursday by an employee who also noticed that the window was not closed. An hour earlier, the jewel was still there, according to the media. This diamond, owned by a Japanese company, seems to be the only stolen item during the show that has not been suspended. It was going on Friday, his last day.
