Los Angeles Robber Steals Two Diamond Encrusted Rolex Watches Worth $120,400.00

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers and detectives are working hard to track down a man who stole two Rolex watches from a watch store in Koreatown back on December 1st.

As stated, the incident happened Saturday, December 1st, in the middle of an afternoon. A man, dressed in a formal tuxedo, walked into the Saint Cross watch and jewelry store located at 928 South Western Avenue in an area known as Koreatown. The man, obviously posing as a regular customer, told a store employee that it wanted to see an engagement ring for his current girlfriend.

While the employee was getting the ring out of the glass case, he spotted two Rolex watches, also inside the display case. The suspect, now disinterested in the engagement ring, asked to see both watches. The employee complied, put the ring back, and took out the two pricey watches.

When the employee handed over the Rolex watches, the suspect pretended to examine them. Suddenly, he ran out of the front door of Saint Cross and took off down the street.

The owner of the store stated that the man stole two diamond encrusted champagne-colored Rolex watches. Each watch is valued at exactly $60,200.00.

Police stated that the crime was not violent. No force or weapons were used. The suspect simply stole the merchadise that was handed to him. Additionally, no information regarding an accomplice or other suspect has been released.

The suspect is described as being a 25-year-old African American. He has a shaved head and is around 5 feet 7 inches tall and 130 pounds. He was last seen in the store wearing a black tuxedo, black sneakers, and black-rimmed eyeglasses.

The entire incident was caught on tape by the store's surveillance system. Images can be obtained through the Media Relations Section of the Los Angeles Police Department.
