In a brazen heist, a group of jewel thieves stole a rare $25 million pink diamond in Dubai, only to be arrested just hours later. According to police, a jewel trader had brought the 21.25-carat “Fancy Intense” diamond to the UAE city, believing he was meeting a potential high-end buyer. However, the trader was lured to the meeting by members of a criminal gang, who managed to steal the precious gem. The trader immediately reported the theft, telling authorities “I just had a problem… the stone is stolen.” Within 8 hours, Dubai police arrested three suspects from an unspecified Asian nation, utilizing “the latest artificial intelligence technologies” to track down the thieves. The diamond was successfully recovered, much to the trader’s relief. While shaken by the incident, the trader warned others in the industry that “Dubai has become a safe global hub for diamond trade.” (Newser)
