Frisco Police Warn of Jewelry Thefts

Frisco police are warning residents about a recent surge in jewelry thefts targeting individuals, particularly those of South Asian descent, during the festive Diwali season. Over the past week, at least five reports have emerged where suspects engage victims in conversation, sometimes offering fake jewelry while stealthily removing valuable pieces. The thefts appear to follow a similar modus operandi as previous incidents reported in 2022 and 2023, where thieves approached victims in dark-colored SUVs. Local community leaders emphasize the urgency of the situation, as many individuals are wearing expensive jewelry for celebrations. Police advise residents to stay vigilant, keep valuables concealed, and report suspicious activities. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify the suspects involved.
