Police are investigating the alleged thefts of over $350,000 in jewelry from homes in New York’s Trump Tower, where President Trump also lives when he’s in the Big Apple.

The jewelry went missing from two apartments, the New York Post reports.

Authorities suspect the thefts were “inside jobs.” They’re making lists of everyone who could have entered the premises, including building workers, cleaners and contractors.

One of the victims “told cops she found five gem-encrusted accessories missing from a drawer in her closet,” according to the Post.

The jewelry was worth $236,000. One of the items was a Harry Winston diamond bracelet.

In the other case, the victim was Isabelle Bscher, an art dealer. The missing item is a Graff diamond bracelet valued at $117,000.

Police aren’t sure whether the same person may have carried out both thefts. The apartments did not appear to have been broken into.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
