A diamond necklace with historic significance was stolen in a bold heist. The necklace, which dates back to 1939, is made of platinum and diamonds and once belonged to an Egyptian queen. Experts believe the thieves may try to sell the jewels individually, as it would be difficult to sell the well-known piece intact.
This approach could be the thieves' undoing, according to art heist experts. Further details about the heist and the investigation are available.
