The New York Police Department (NYPD) said Sunday that, thanks to Twitter users, it has located the couple who lost an engagement ring in Times Square.
Police had been searching for the couple since Saturday, when the department tweeted video showing a couple lose their ring in a grate in New York City. The ring fell about eight feet down the grate and authorities were initially unsuccessful retrieving it.
The couple ultimately learned through Twitter that the NYPD was in possession of the ring and was looking for them, police said Sunday.
Police added that they were working on getting the ring back to the couple and said later on Sunday that the case was “closed.”

We would like to thank everyone who shared this story! The (now) happy couple is back in their home country, but thanks to your retweets they heard we were looking for them! We’re making arrangements to get them their ring back. Congratulations! https://t.co/rXHxxkwClm
