Police officials said the three used a ploy "to divert and go", replacing the diamond with a cubic zirconia while the staff were distracted. Hsu said he was standing right outside the booth of the company, leaving two of his employees inside.

Their alleged accomplice entered the cabin shortly after and looked at the screen while posing personnel matters.
Although the two employees were busy, one of the women allegedly switched the diamond of 3.2 carat cubic zirconia.
When staff alerted the flight security guards, all exits were locked, but the suspects had left in a taxi to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport for a flight to Shanghai 2:30 pm. Organizers said the event, which is scheduled to run on Monday, is the first exhibition of the jewel of Taiwan.
