Gulfport, Mississippi, on May 29, 2025, at the Outlets of Gulfport, a jeweler was the victim of a grab and run theft. Two male suspects entered the store under the pretense of shopping for watches. Both males were greeted and assisted at the watch showcase. The first suspect, wearing the bucket hat, claimed he didn’t see a watch that interested him. He proceeded to the gold chain showcase and inquired about several gold chains. The suspects stated they were from Mobile, AL. He eventually asked to see the large 24” solid curb link god necklace valued at $10,000. Two employees assisted the male while presenting the gold chain. He held the large curb link chain to check the weight before handing it back. At approximately 4:55 PM, the first male examined the gold necklace once again before fleeing the store with the gold chain. The second suspect was at the bridal showcase and fled behind the first male. Witnesses claimed they observed the suspects getting into a white Chevy Malibu with an unknown driver. No injuries were reported. A police report was filed with Gulfport Police.
