Syrian star Assala reports $6m jewelry theft in Detroit

CHICAGO: Syrian singer Assala Nasri said that jewelry worth almost $6 million was stolen from her hotel room after a sold-out performance at Detroit’s Fox Theater on Oct. 31.

Professionally known as Assala, the music star publicly reported the theft in a social media post on Nov. 6, almost a week after the concert.

She said she was staying at the MGM Grand Detroit when the jewelry disappeared.

“I had barely arrived at the hotel and gotten ready and changed my jewelry — thank God, I had all of it with me, and I don’t own anything else — when I went to the show,” Assala said.
