A flash flow in the Shaanxi province in China cost a jewelry store in Wuqi County too much. The owner said nearly 20 kilograms of gold and silver jewelry were washed away. But the right chaos broke out when the street people, shopping staff and residents of the area dumped on the street to look for the missing jewelry. The incident, allegedly from July 25, took place in a jewelry store named Laofengxiang. According to the local news portal The Standard, the store was hit by the flash flow just when staff arrived to open for the day. The owner said his staff stayed overnight to keep watch and that he did not move the jewelry into the safes. When flood warnings were issued that morning, all stock was still visible. Within minutes, the water rose through the front entrance and rose to more than one meter. The powerful stream burst through the store and swept away display cabinets and trays of jewelry. The CCTV system of the store was off and was unable to record the incident due to power cuts during the flooding. What is missing? You have shared that the missing objects include golden necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, pendants, diamond rings, jade pieces and silver ornaments. The safe of the store, which contains new stock, recycled gold and a large amount of cash, is also missing. Based on the current market prices, the total value of the washed items is estimated to be exceeded 10 million yuan (about £ 12 crore).
