New York—Three recent arrests involving jewelry crimes that occurred years ago illustrate the serious attitude of law enforcement in prosecuting industry-related crimes, according to the Jewelers Security Alliance (JSA).

The agency reports that last month authorities extradited from Peru a man accused of a 1992 robbery of a retail jewelry store in Linden, N.J., in which a police officer was shot. The suspect will face robbery, attempted murder and weapons charges.

The JSA also reports that Jean Herrina, a con man who impersonated a Saudi prince and committed thefts from high-end jewelry stores throughout the world for at least five years, was arrested on March 21 in Paris. The suspect hung himself in a French jail after his arrest.

Finally, U.S. Marshals in San Francisco arrested a tour-bus driver last month who was wanted for the 1986 robbery of a jewelry firm's armored transport vehicle in France.
