Secret Surveillance Camera Found Outside Jeweler’s Home in NJ

Surveillance camera equipment was found outside a jeweler’s home in New Jersey.

Police were alerted by a jeweler of secret surveillance camera equipment and a battery pack hidden outside the home of the jeweler.

The incident took place in northern New Jersey, according to a bulletin from the Jewelers’ Security Alliance.

A review of the camera system showed two people placing the device in a bush at about 9 p.m. on Feb. 9.

“Police have said that this is consistent with other incidents involving South American Theft Group activity who are attempting to monitor the movements of jewelers in planning a crime,” according to JSA.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
