A 31-year-old woman is being investigated for allegedly stealing cash and diamonds from a Renton jewelry store -- and then pawning them at multiple shops.
The woman was an employee of N.W. Gold and Diamond at 252 S.W. 43rd Street in Renton from August 2017 to January 2018. The woman’s responsibilities included helping customers, handling the till and maintaining the store’s eBay auctions.
The owner became suspicious after he noticed several of the balance sheet categories had been crossed out and changed. He then told police he noticed cash missing and checked surveillance video, which made him suspect the employee.
For KIRO 7 at 7, reporter Amy Clancy is going in-depth with the surveillance video –- and why the woman’s criminal history may not have shows up on a background check.
Police later located her pawn history and found she sold multiple loose diamonds. The woman has not yet been charged.
