The recession may be still looming over retailers' heads but it seems diamonds are still running out the door.
A woman this afternoon attempted to make a quick get-away from Napier's Michael Hill Jeweller, she had been trying on a $5000 diamond ring, but then attempted to pull a swiftone on the staff.
With the ring snuggly wrapped around her finger the woman bolted out the door, with a shop assistant in pursuit behind her.
Others then joined the chase, but when she realised she was unlikely to outrun the group, she dropped the ring.
