A Los Angeles jeweler was sentenced to four years and four months in state prison for receiving stolen jewelry that included a piece of merchandise taken in a $500,000 holdup of a Washington, D.C., department store in 1984. Sentenced was Khosrow Rahimian, 28. At the time the receipt of stolen property occurred, Rahimian was on probation for a 1984 conviction for participating in a credit-card fraud scheme based in the Los Angeles jewelry district. Prosecutors in the credit-card case had described Rahimian as one of the chief organizers of the scheme, which involved running up charges on stolen credit cards.
