A reward of $5,000 is offered by Harrods, the big metropolitan department store, in connection with the robbery of $50,000 worth of jewelry as reported in The Jewelers’ Circular the other week. Hundreds of letters have been received by the firm purporting to provide clues as to the identity of the thieves, but no arrests so far have been made. The reward offered for information leading to the recovery of the stolen jewelry and the arrest of the jewel thieves will be paid in proportion to the amount of jewelry recovered. Scotland Yard’s flying squads have combed out all the known haunts of the jewel gang and its receivers but up to now the offenders have eluded arrest. The burglary was cleverly planned and executed and the Yard realizes it has some polished cracksmen to contend with.
