Precious Gems and Stones found at local hotel; no one claims ownership

On 05/07/14 at approximately 5:06 p.m., officers responded to a hotel on the 1900 block of 4^th St. and conducted a probation search of a hotel room. Officers located several boxes, each of which contained several hundred individual precious gems and stones.

None of the subjects on scene claimed ownership of the stones or any knowledge about them.  For that reason, officers collected the items for safekeeping.
