SAINT JOHN, N.B. — A warrant has been issued for a couple wanted in a daring New Brunswick diamond theft that has been connected to a series of similar heists nationwide. The Saint John Police Force said Wednesday they had obtained a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a 70-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman in the Oct. 7 theft of a $10,000 stone at W. Smith and Co. Fine Jewellers. The force did not give further details, but storeowner Wayne Smith said the couple were European and living in the Toronto area. Smith said he now directly knows of a half-dozen thefts from Vancouver to the Maritimes, and thinks there are likely dozens more.
