GRAB AND RUN – MADISON, WI

A lone male entered the store at closing time under the pretense of shopping for an engagement ring. He was in the store earlier and stated his name was James. The subject stated he was looking for a bridal set of $10,000 or more. He was presented with different bridal set options. He was then shown diamond rings and wraps as another idea.
