Police in Frisco, TX, are investigating a series of jewelry thefts in which people victims were targeting while walking.

Since the beginning of March, the Frisco Police Department has received nine such reports, according to a press release.

The incidents occurred at various times of day. All involved victims walking in open areas with visible jewelry.

In each case, the victim was approached by an unknown suspect who used conversation, such as asking for directions, as a distraction. The suspect then offered a hug or similar gesture and took the victim’s necklace.

The thefts “appear to be similar to those reported late last year,” according to the release.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
