Stolen Dalumi Diamonds recovered: the case of the diamond stolen from Israeli-based diamond company Dalumi during the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) has been solved less than 24 hours after taking place, Diamond World reported.



A box containing 889 carats of diamonds valued at nearly $1 million was stolen from the Dalumi Diamonds booth at show on Monday.



According to initial reports, the suspects – Mexican nationals – were apprehended by the Dubai authorities while trying to board a flight to Mexico.



This is perhaps one of the few cases where goods stolen at an international gem and jewellery trade show has been recovered, and almost certainly the one that has been solved the fastest.



The trio of suspects were speedily identified thanks to CCTV records, authorities said.



GJEPC officials confirmed the arrests and praised the Mumbai police officials for their action in identifying the culprits, tracing the flight they took to flee the country and issuing a wanted alert via Interpol, leading eventually to their arrest in less than 24 hours after the robbery.
