The team member took the male to the point of sale to check the prices of two rings.� The team member reviewed prices and the male grabbed one of the rings and walked back toward the showcase.� The team member immediately followed.� The male turned to the team member and said “I gotta go†and handed the team member a ring.
As the male was exiting, the team member realized the ring was a Cubic Zirconia (CZ) with a foreign price tag. The subject was described as a� 5’11†Black male in his 30’s. He has a medium build and was last seen wearing a red hoodie, and a medical mask.
