Four caught on Mumbai CCTV, then at Dubai airport for diamond heist

Mumbai: A Venezuelan and three Mexicans, including a woman, have been detained in Dubai for their alleged role in the theft of diamonds worth Rs 6.6 crore from an exhibition in Mumbai, the Crime Branch said today.
They were on their way from Mumbai to Hamburg when the UAE police detained them at the airport Tuesday. The diamonds, stolen Monday night, have been recovered and are being brought back, Jt CP (Crime) Himanshu Roy said.
The diamonds, 887.24 carats, belong to Israeli company Dalumi Group. CCTV cameras at the India International Jewellery Exhibition on the NSE grounds, Goregaon East, had captured the four near the company’s stall. The police checked passport copies that all visitors had submitted at entry, established the identities of the four, and issued a lookout notice.
“Officials of Crime Branch Unit 12 and Goregaon East police station began perusing the CCTV footage. We identified the foreign nationals who were seen near the stall and based on the registration details that invitees were expected to fill, we identified the suspects,” Roy said.
