A woman in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 28 months in prison for jewelry theft, after selfies that showed her "dripping in diamonds" on a cruise tipped off a criminal investigation, police said.
Lucy Roberts, 39, was convicted of stealing more than £124,000 worth of jewelry and cash from a luxury store that she previously managed, according to Humberside Police in northeastern England, where the scheme took place. The haul included diamonds, gold and silver pieces, with the total value of stolen items equating to around $170,000.
Police said Roberts acquired the costly accessories during her tenure at the jewelry shop, when she would take items home with her and tell suspicious colleagues that she was just "sorting stock" for the store at her residence.
