Winnipeg cops seek suspect in new jewelry scam
Winnipeg police are looking for a suspect in a jewelry scam they say is new to the city.
In two instances, one in September and one in October, victims — one in her 60s and one in her 70s –were approached by an unknown woman who tried to give them jewelry.
Police allege that in each case, while the suspect was attempting to put what turned out to be cheap costume jewelry on the victims, she stole real gold jewelry they were already wearing.
