GRAB AND RUN – ARLINGTON, VA

On 7/10/23, at approximately 4:10 p.m., a black male entered a jewelry store and expressed interest in looking at rings for a 60-year-old female. There was a female customer at the counter, and he asked the customer what she thought of the ring he picked. The female customer engaged with him giving her opinion. This female customer is a previous customer and is not involved with this situation.

A second male subject came up to the associate’s right side. He put his hand in the case and took a ring prop that could hold 6 items. The store team believes that there were only 5 items in that prop. Both subjects then ran out of the store with the 5 rings. No employees were harmed, and police were called immediately.

The first subject was described as a 55-year-old Black male. He is 5’8″ and has a medium build. He was last seen wearing a half sleeve shirt and he had a bald head. The second subject is a black male. He was last seen wearing a t-shirt with light jeans. He also carried a T-mobile bag.
