Diamond encrusted and worth over half a million pounds, Cartier’s most exclusive ring was stolen earlier today. The theives, bilingual and smartly dressed, walked into Cartier’s store in Rome and talked their way past staff claiming to be shopping for a special gift.

Leading the investigation, Police official Paolo Guiso, said the two men, belived to be North African, worked quickly and deftly, without weapons or force.

Whilst CCTV footage is being examined, press reports suggest that the ring contained a 5ct centrepiece diamond and was encrusted with smaller diamonds.
