Another arrest in jewellery case

12:03 pm on 4 June 2011

A man sought in relation to two jewellery robberies in Auckland has been arrested.

A Sydney-based jeweller was robbed of more than $100,000 worth of gems in Parnell last month.

Some $600,000 worth of jewellery was also stolen outside Rydges Hotel.

Earlier this week, five foreigners were arrested.

Detective Inspector Scott Beard now says a man has been located in Wellington. Jose Jimenez-Perez appeared in court on Saturday and was remanded in custody until 7 June.

Another man is still sought.
