HUNTINGTON, N.Y. -- A Long Island jewelry store clerk was arrested for allegedly stealing more than $125,000 in merchandise from clients.

Police say 53-year-old Laura Bee worked at Ever Love Jewelers in Huntington.

Investigators say she issued bad checks, swapped real diamonds for fakes and charged full price for lower-quality gems.

CBS New York's crew found the storefront empty with a "for lease" sign on the front window.
