Harrods quiz over £72,000 ring

Harrods staff are being quizzed by police following the disappearance of a £72,500 diamond ring from a safe at the store.

The ring, which was delivered to the Knightsbridge store last month, was part of an range of items from Goldsmiths the jewellers due to go on display following the January sales.

Staff discovered it was missing when they went to the safe to fetch it for the display.

Chelsea police were alerted and are now quizzing security staff and anyone who has access to the safe, according to a Harrods spokesman.

He said: "An investigation has been undertaken and the matter has been reported to the police. We are expecting an arrest soon but I cannot say whether it is someone from Harrods or not."
