NIAGARA FALLS —
Wheatfield
Not so safe a spot
A 34-year-old Shenk Road man told Niagara County Sheriff’s deputies that he recently brought a clear plastic box containing several valuables, including a wedding/ engagement ring made of gold and diamond cluster, to his friend’s house due to a potential divorce.
The man said the box also contained coins in coin wrappers and about 240K in Iraqi dineros (worth about $50).
The man said he was told the box was taken from his friend’s home on Jan. 23 by two acquaintances.
Deputies were provided with two potential suspects — one of whom told the victim on the phone she had taken the items, but then recanted.
