When a woman lost diamond rings at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, another traveler grabbed the valuables from the floor to steal them, the Broward Sheriff’s Office says.
Now, detectives have released images of the woman they suspect took the engagement and wedding rings. Authorities are seeking the public’s help to identify her. As of Friday, no arrest had been made, the Sheriff's Office said.
The theft happened shortly after 10 p.m. Dec. 9 in Terminal 4 of the airport, the agency said.

When the owner of the rings realized she had lost her valuables, she began frantically searching for them around the security checkpoint where she took them off, the agency said.
But by then, the thief had grabbed the jewelry and was standing idly by despite the owner's search effort, the agency said.
