VIENNA, Austria — Authorities in Austria say they have recovered a stolen, uncut ruby known as the "Prince of Burma" worth more than US$4 million.
Austria's federal criminal investigations bureau says the ruby and other jewels were recovered and two men and a woman arrested in a raid Tuesday in the southern town of Villach.
All three are suspected of stealing the ruby, along with diamonds and other gems, from a German jewelry dealer in Milan, Italy, in August.
Police say the dealer, identified only as a man from the German city of Idar-Oberstein, was tricked into going to Milan by the female suspect.
Investigators say the man was seriously injured by a car during the theft.
Police put the total value of the stolen jewels at US$4.5 million.
