Edinburgh jewellery thief snared after eagle-eyed boss spots stolen items in social media pics

A thief who stole almost £2000 of luxury goods from a jewellery store was caught after her boss spotted her wearing the goods in social media pictures. Taylor Thomson fell under suspicion after an internal audit at Fraser Hart in Edinburgh discovered that several items were missing from their inventory in February this year.

Store manager Emma Davidson concluded that the items must have been pinched by an employee and began scouring online accounts belonging to staff in a hunt for clues. After noticing ‘similar looking items’ being worn by Thomson in photographs, she called police who later cautioned and charged the 22-year-old.
