This is fake jewelry thieves are handing to seniors across the Bay Area, SoCal & Sacramento area to distract them as they’re getting robbed of their real jewelry.
This fake stuff was given to a 59-year old disabled woman in San Jose before the suspect took her gold chain. (1/4)

Many of the victims (10 known ones in San Ramon) according to @SanRamonPolice are SE Asian. Many victims don’t report to PD.
One victim according to @SantaClaraPD was a 90-year old non-Asian woman who was taken for $40,000 in jewelry!

San Ramon police say the perps appear to be made of people f/Eastern Europe.
They call this a slight-of-hand crime b/c the suspect hugs or approaches the victim & it takes only a few secs to undo a necklace.
Many victims like this one in SR don’t realize it’s happening. (4/5)

Note: after I posted this on social media dozens of people from San Diego, South SF, Milpitas, Sacramento, & all over said this has happened to their loved ones.
Most didn’t report— but because 10 did report to @SanRamonPolice they made 2 arrests.
