According to Dubai Media Office, the operation — codenamed “Pink Diamond” — exposed a year-long scheme by three Asian suspects, who were arrested within just eight hours of the crime being reported.

The stolen gem, a 21-carat Fancy Intense pink diamond with the highest purity, is among the rarest in the world, representing only 0.01% of global diamonds. The stone had recently arrived in Dubai from Europe, sparking the gang’s elaborate plot.

Authorities revealed the suspects used fake identities, luxury rental cars, and five-star hotel meetings to gain the trader’s trust. They even brought along a supposed “gem expert” to strengthen their disguise.

The ruse worked well enough to convince the trader to take the diamond out of secure storage and into a private villa for viewing. But thanks to rapid coordination, Dubai Police intercepted the plan and secured the rare jewel.
