Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Apr, 2016 12:45 PM
    TURNER VALLEY, Alta. — Police are looking for a thief who stole heirloom jewelry from the home of a 102-year-old southern Alberta woman.
     
    RCMP say the theft happened Sunday in Black Diamond, southwest of Calgary, when someone got into the home through an unlocked window while the woman slept.
     
    She was alone in the residence at the time.
     
    A large amount of jewelry, including a unique golden wedding band, was taken.
     
    Mounties say the items are of significant sentimental value to the victim and her family.
     
    They think the woman was targeted, and they're hoping anyone who may have seen any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area the night before the theft will come forward.
