A couple from the UK who had got engaged in New York, but unfortunately lost their engagement ring during the proposal, finally have a bit of good news.
WANTED for dropping his fiancée’s ring in @TimesSquareNYC!
She said Yes – but he was so excited that he dropped the ring in a grate. Our @NYPDSpecialops officers rescued it & would like to return it to the happy couple. Help us find them? 💍 call 800-577-TIPS @NYPDTIPS @NYPDMTN pic.twitter.com/tPWg8OE0MQ— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) December 1, 2018
The NYPD tweeted on Sunday that they had found the ring and were making arrangements to return the ring to the couple.
The couple were captured on CCTV trying their best to retrieve the piece of jewelry which had fallen into the grate, but thankfully the police officers rescued it and cleaned it. The pair are from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in the UK, and were named by the NYPD as John and Daniella, and are now back home.
Thank you, Twitter. Case closed!
Love,
John, Daniella, and the NYPD. pic.twitter.com/G7eB1Ds7vP— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) December 2, 2018
The CCTV images don’t show the moment when he popped the question, but the man can be clearly seen getting down on one knee in an attempt to find the ring. The man even lies down on the floor by the grate, trying to reach the ring, but cannot reach it. The lady said “Yes”, but then she puts her hands to her face in shock when she realizes what has happened. They both crouch down to search for the ring but are unsuccessful.
