Luck runs out on the woman who stole more than $4 million in merchandise.

A female jewelry thief who allegedly robbed six stores in five states was arrested by FBI agents in Atlanta on Friday, according to Fox News. The report adds that the suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Abigail Lee Kemp, and agents also arrested a man believed to be her accomplice. The arrests came after the FBI received “numerous credible leads from the public” following a release from the agency’s Jacksonville division announcing its search for the woman. Some reports estimate the total value of jewelry stolen to be in excess of $4 million.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
