The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will host a showing of stolen jewelry recovered following a multi-agency investigation of a high-end burglary ring dubbed the “Dinner Set Crew.” Six individuals were arrested in June for a series of residential burglaries in south Florida. In each incident, the suspects entered a home, typically through a rear sliding glass door, and stole expensive jewelry and other high-value items. Authorities estimate that the value of the jewelry stolen totaled more than $2 million.
During the showing, the recovered jewelry will be available for the media to photograph and film before it is returned to the victims. In addition, agents involved with the investigation will be available for interviews.
