Film-slammer jewelry thief fleeces stores across cities
An undersized man about thirty with a younger companion robs jewellers and pawnbrokers nationwide using a cash trick. He visits shops for diamonds, then alters payments by switching large bills for smaller notes and a silver dollar, leaving only $1 bills. From December to April, he operated from Jersey City to Minneapolis, Philadelphia to Brooklyn, and triggered alerts by the Jewellers' Security Alliance.
