Sydney jewellery Trade Fair.

The Australian Jewellers Association jewellery fair for the trade has just ended after three days in Sydney.
There were hundreds of exhibitors from all over the world.

One and a half million dollars worth of diamonds were stolen during transport to the venue.

Security is very strict at the fair. In order to register the first time you must provide invoices from three suppliers for purchases that you have made three times throughout the past year and well as business identification and personal photo identification. These must be handed in about a week before the fair. At the fair it is similar to airport security with scanning, electronic bag and personal effects screening, checking of photo identification and then on the way out you must produce receipts for anything that you have bought.

But the thieves bypassed all of that fuss and stole the goods before they arrived at the fair.
