BERLIN - German police say a suitcase containing jewelry worth $460,000 Cdn has been stolen from a train in Berlin.

Police said Tuesday that a Thai businessman was travelling from a trade fair in Berlin to Hannover and noticed shortly after the high-speed train left Berlin that one of his three cases was missing.

Police say witnesses reported seeing a woman rush off the train shortly before its doors closed Monday morning.

Video surveillance footage from the platform will be examined in an attempt to identify her.

The businessman told police he left his suitcases in the passage of the train for a short period while he tried to find a seat.

He was not identified.
