Jewelry donated to B.C. thrift store raising funds for youth worth thousands

TSAWWASSEN, B.C. — Police say someone who donated costume jewelry to a thrift store in Tsawwassen, B.C., might have given away more than they realized.

Delta police say a person working at the Delta Youth Support Link Thrift Store thought some of the jewelry donated around March 1 looked valuable.

They had it appraised and police say it turned out to be worth $23,000.

Store manager Josie Mae says they have previously received pricey jewelry, including a Rolex watch and a diamond ring.
