LONDON—British police were hunting for an unidentified man on Tuesday after a suitcase containing £1 million ($1.3 million) worth of gems was stolen from a luggage rack on a train at London’s Euston station.
The owner, a 35-year-old jewellery dealer, boarded a train to Birmingham on Nov. 8 but when the train arrived at Rugby in central England, he discovered that his suitcase of rubies, emeralds and sapphires was no longer on the luggage rack.
