Australian thief uses fishing rod to steal versace necklace

What a fascinating and unusual crime!

According to reports, a 34-year-old Australian man has been arrested for stealing a $1.2 million Versace necklace using a fishing rod at a luxury jewelry store in Sydney.

The thief, identified as Joshua James, allegedly entered the store on January 14 and used a fishing rod to snatch the 18-carat gold necklace, which was on display. The necklace features 1,200 diamonds and is valued at around $1.2 million.

Surveillance footage shows James entering the store, approaching the display case, and using the fishing rod to hook the necklace. He then quickly exits the store, leaving behind a trail of broken glass and a stunned staff.

The police were alerted, and James was arrested a short time later at a nearby hotel. He has been charged with stealing and is currently being held in custody.

This bizarre crime has left many wondering how James managed to plan and execute such a daring heist. The police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the theft and are working to recover the stolen necklace.

It's worth noting that this is not the first time a fishing rod has been used in a crime. In 2019, a thief in the UK used a fishing rod to steal a valuable painting from a museum. It seems that the humble fishing rod has become a versatile tool for thieves looking to get away with valuable items!
