On 2/10/22, at approximately 12:00 p.m, a group of 5-6 male subjects walked into a jewelry store, briefly browsed around, and exited. At approximately 3:00 pm the same subjects re-entered the store requesting to see chains. The primary subject was then shown a couple of different chains after he requested to hold one of the chains. Immediately after taking possession of a gold rope 22″ chain, he ran off while his companions followed. All 5 subjects were described as Black males between 15-19 years of age.
