Vehicle Vandalized, Engagement Ring Stolen in Birmingham

The Birmingham Police Department arrested a man hired for contract work in a home for allegedly stealing an engagement ring, reports said.

A resident in the 1200 block of Puritan called police last week to report the ring stolen, and told officers they suspected an employee of a contractor working in the home. Police arrested the man without incident and said they hope to recover the ring, which was taken Oct. 10. Charges are pending.
