The hunt is on for a slick, fast-talking con man accused of scamming businesses in Orange County.
On Aug. 27, a seemingly nice man walked into the Kay Jewelers at the Irvine Spectrum. He told the clerk he wants a $2900 necklace and offers to pay with cash. Davies said the suspect pretends to buy expensive items and pays cash but uses quick hands to steal some of the money back. The sergeant described the crime as a quick change scam.
"It's kind of a magician's move," she said."It's an old game from a long, long time ago and it just keeps circulating every so often." "There's also a case with the same crew in Georgia," said Davies."And it just so happens that somebody in the group from the United Kingdom, from England, knew this crew, and was able to identify this suspect.
