Jewelers Mutual Ups Midwest Surveillance Because of Suspicious Activity

(IDEX Online) - Jewelers Mutual has arranged additional surveillance for commercial lines policyholders in an unnamed state in the Midwest because of what it terms suspicious activity. 

This is the second time in the past few months that the company has had to do so. In October 2019, Jewelers Mutual provided extra security surveillance to policyholders in California during widespread power outages.

The company has also urged jewelers to review its list of what to do during a jewelry store robbery. The advice includes not calling the police, pressing a hold-up alarm or panic button. Not making eye contact with robbers or pursuing them after they leave. 

Jewelers Mutual said it will continue to monitor developing criminal situations and deploy additional targeted loss prevention services to protect commercial lines policyholders and the jewelry industry when possible.
