On Thursday, February 2, at about 1:00 p.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to a report of a distraction theft that occurred at a home in the 1800 block of Sabal Palm Drive in Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club.

The victim told officers  two men came to her front door and told her there was a water problem on the street and they needed to check her water.  The suspects entered the home and went to the kitchen with the victim.  One suspect sprayed a solution into the sink and intentionally sprayed the victim’s hand.  They told her to immediately wash her hand since the solution could burn.  The victim went into the bathroom, took off her diamond ring and washed her hands.  One suspect then told her to follow him back to the kitchen and he would show her how to properly wash the solution off.

The suspects told the victim they had cream for her hand and a solution to clean her ring in their truck.  The victim waited inside and when the suspects did not return, she went to retrieve her ring and discovered it was gone.

The suspects are described as about 25 years old, both were wearing jeans, one had a small checked t-shirt and brown hair.  The other suspect wore a yellow vest and yellow hat and had brown hair and a goatee.
