The jeweler had been living in New York City in late 1989 when Westchester police issued a warrant accusing him of stealing the diamonds from a Yorktown jeweler. He allegedly committed similar crimes in Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio before becoming a fugitive in 1990.
The jeweler is being held without bail at the Westchester County jail on a felony grand larceny charge.
