Notorious Croatian Jewellery Thief Wanted For £2m Diamond Rings Theft

A suspected Croatian jewellery thief, wanted for heists all over Europe, is wanted after three diamond rings – worth over £2m – were snatched from a high-end Chelsea art fair.
Masterpiece London, held at Royal Hospital Chelsea, last summer was the scene of the audacious theft of the valuable rings from a cabinet.
The suspect, (pictured) has been identified as Vinko Osmakcic, and is wanted by Kensington and Chelsea CID for the theft, which occurred at around 5.30pm on July 4, 2017.
Detective Sergeant Chris Taylor, leading the investigation, said: “This was a well-planned and audacious theft committed in the middle of a busy art fair.
We are re-releasing the image of Mr. Osmakcic in an attempt to trace him.
It is highly likely that Mr. Osmakcic may be out of the UK, possibly in Europe.
He may also be known by the following name Vinko Tomic or Juro Markelic.
I am asking anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact police or Crimestoppers so we can bring him to justice.”
Anyone who can assist police is asked to call Kensington and Chelsea CID on 020 8246 0122 quoting Operation Hestia or report information via Twitter @MetCC.
