Real estate agents are on alert after two women allegedly stole $70,000 worth of belongings from at least six open houses in Manhattan and Upper Saddle River, N.J. “This has created a lot of shock,” said Pamela Liebman, president and chief executive of the Corcoran Group. Some large apartment buildings tightened requirements to mandate that all visitors show photo ID. Police said the suspects, Jessica Joyner and Jennifer Jones, were wearing stolen jewelry when they were arrested over the weekend. more [AP via AMNY] and more [NYT]
