Jewellery worth 1 million Swiss francs ($825,000) was stolen from the world’s biggest and most luxurious watch and jewellery fair in Basel, authorities said Saturday. %% “It happened on Tuesday before the fair started,” said Peter Gill, spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office in Basel. “Nobody was hurt,” he said. %% The jewellery was grabbed when it was being brought to a stall in the exhibition hall for the Baselworld fair, he told The Associated Press. %% He declined to comment further to avoid compromising the ongoing inquiry. %% The theft is likely to be the largest in the fair’s recent history, Baselworld spokesman Bernhard Keller told AP. But he said that security at the fair was adequate. %% “We have very good security measures. There is no need to change anything,” he said, adding that the show was continuing normally. %% More than 2,000 exhibitors from 45 countries present the latest products from diamond encrusted masterpieces to modest plastic models at the fair, which runs from April 12 to 19.
