On Tuesday afternoon, two men stole four pieces of jewelry from a jeweler in Ypres, including three rings and a necklace. This is reported by Het Nieuwsblad and VRT NWS.

The thieves used cunning tricks to mislead the jeweler, making it difficult to ascertain exactly what happened. The jeweler stated that it was barely visible on the security footage what the men did.
