 SANTA FE – The Santa Fe Police Department is looking for three thieves said to have stolen more than $1 million worth of merchandise from a Plaza jewelry store during a popular holiday celebration. According to Lt. Michele Williams, three suspects – two men and a woman – went into Diva Diamonds & Jewels on the Plaza between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. on Friday, during the city’s crowded annual Plaza holiday lighting event, and took 11 valuable items while employees were busy with customers. “They had been in the store on a prior date and were asking questions about the jewelry in the store,” Williams said. “We hadn’t had anything that high in a while.” 
 
 Williams said police have a few leads on the thieves, but they still need the public’s help identifying them.
– Santa Fe police say three thieves made off with more than $1 million in goods from a jewelry store while employees were distracted by a holiday celebration. A rep says two men and a woman took 11 items from an unlocked case inside Diva Diamonds & Jewels on the Santa Fe Plaza between 5:15pm and 5:30pm on Friday while crowds gathered for an annual holiday lighting event, per the Albuquerque Journal and KOAT. Authorities say the heist was likely planned since the suspects were spotted at the store previously. They're sharing surveillance photos of the suspects in the hope that the public will help identify them. "We’ve certainly had theft down there, but the anomaly is the dollar amount," says the rep. "We hadn’t had anything that high in a while."
