    TWO unarmed robbers got away with the three most expensive diamond
    rings in a shop in Limassol yesterday morning. The rings were worth
    around â~B¬20,000.

    The two men entered the Tonia Jewellery shop at 9.15am on Ayios
    Andreas Street in Limassol. One of them pretended to be a customer
    while the second stood at the entrance of the shop.

    Speaking in Russian to the employee, who was of Armenian origin, he
    said he was interested in buying diamond rings. The thirty-year-old
    woman showed him a collection of diamond rings but he reportedly
    said he was not very impressed and asked to see the most expensive
    ones available.

    She then presented him the three most expensive diamond rings. After
    examining the rings the 'client' put them in his pocket and made his
    way to the exit. Taken by surprise, the woman grabbed him by the
    arm to stop him, but he violently grabbed her by the neck, pushed
    her and pinned her to the ground. He then made a dash for the exit,
    and along with his accomplice jumped into a car and fled the scene.

    The getaway car was found abandoned shortly afterwards in a road
    behind the crime scene. An eye witness testified that he saw the
    two perpetrators get into a red car after abandoning the getaway
    car. The police took the abandoned car for examination. According
    to the preliminary investigation, forensics recovered a number of
    fingerprints. The CCTV tape from the shop was also taken by the
    police. The thieves appeared to be of central Asian origin.

    Police said that based on the data available, "the robbers will soon
    be identified and arrested".
