WINSTON -SALEM, NC- On August 24, 2025, the suspect entered the store and told the employee that he was looking for a necklace because his brother just bought one. He said that he was looking for something solid, and that he had a budget of about $8,000. He looked at some different chains, then pointed to one. He said that he wanted to see how it looked on him, and he also wanted to see how it looked on him with a matching charm. The employee told him that he could only have one piece at a time, and he told her that he didn’t know how he could decide unless he could see both pieces on. She still would not let him see both pieces. He eventually looked like he was going to put it on, but he had control of the piece and fled the store. He was seen getting into a newer black SUV that was waiting for him.
Suspect(s) Description: Male, black, 6’0″, 200 lbs, black hat, peach Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts
