In New York, builders accidentally threw diamonds in the trash

In New York, they arrested a security guard who stole diamonds that the builders had mistakenly thrown into the garbage.

The owner of the jewelry store J. Birnbaum, Jonathan Birnbach, kept the diamonds in three wooden boxes in an open safe. After the firm, located in a high-rise building in the Manhattan area, moved from one floor to another, the manager discovered that the jewel case was missing.

He appealed to the law enforcement authorities and announced the disappearance of diamonds. He didn’t notice the loss immediately, as he doesn’t need these stones often. During business hours, the safe has been unlocked to facilitate operation.

Police managed to find the thief. It turned out to be the guard Wilfred Martinez.

This was the case. The builders, dragging things during the move, did not attach importance to the wooden boxes in which the diamonds lay. They mistakenly threw them in the trash.

Martinez saw the boxes and took them to the bathroom, where, for convenience, he poured diamonds into one of them, after which he left the office. He managed to sell some diamonds for 68 thousand dollars. The rest I left to myself.

Wilfred Martinez was accused of theft after being discovered on videotape at the jeweler Jonathan Birnbach’s office.
