GRAB & RUN – SUMTER, SC

On 3/31/22, at approximately 1:45 p.m., a jewelry store was the victim of a grab and run theft.  A lone male subject entered the location and inquired about gold chains.  After viewing several items, the male requested to see a 22″ Cuban necklace.  The team member removed the item from the showcase and began a presentation.  The team member maintained possession of the item and shortly after, the male reached over and grabbed it out of the team members hand.  Once the male gained possession of the item, he ran out of the location.  The subject was described as Black, in his mid-to-late 20’s, and 5’11”. He has a thin build and was last seen wearing a woven style hat, a red jersey/shirt that said “SUPERB” with one blue sleeve and one red sleeve, black/blue jeans, and yellow sneakers.
