On August 23, 2019 NCIC sent out an alert regarding a vehicle burglary that resulted in the loss of approximately $60,000 in rare coins from a collector.
Soon after the alert was sent out NCIC received a call from Vadim and Roy Polyak, owners of Oxbridge Coins in San Francisco, CA. Vadim Polyak advised that a subject came into their store and wanted to sell several coins which they recognized as being stolen. Unable to make immediate contact with NCIC and fearing the coins would never be seen again, they offered to buy the coins for $2500. The suspect accepted the offer and left the store.
Vadim Polyak made contact with NCIC who immediately assisted in coordinating the investigation between the victim, San Mateo police department and Oxbridge Coins.
The success in this case was due to the alert and quick actions of Professional Numismatists Vadim and Roy Polyak owners of Oxbridge Coins San Francisco, CA.
