A Manhattan woman says movers she and her fiancé hired walked away with her $70,000 engagement ring.
Julie Brown hired the crew from with CCS Moving to help her and partner Jon Hollander move their belongings one floor down to the couple’s new apartment in a luxury West Village building, her Manhattan Supreme Court papers say.
During the Feb. 1, 2017, move, Brown’s 3-carat solitaire cushion-cut diamond was secreted away in a jewelry box. Later that evening, the couple discovered the rock was missing-and Brown filed a police report.
CCS Moving has denied all culpability and had no record of the movers identities. “We gave them a contract,” CCS Moving owner, Ibra Seck, told The Post. “We did not take it, they cannot prove anything,” Seck added.
Neither Brown nor her lawyer responded to a request for comment.
Cops said the incident is still under investigation.
