Cops: $10k ring stolen - from Kohls

A man walked into a Kohls store in Andorra Thursday afternoon, asked to see two rings and ran off with one that store employees said is worth $10,000.

The theft unfolded just after 12 p.m. on Henry Avenue near Port Royal, said Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman.

The suspect told the employee he'd like to take a closer look at two rings in a jewelry case. While he was looking at one ring, he grabbed the other one out of its box — which the employee was holding — and ran from the store, Little said.

When the suspect got to the parking lot, he jumped into a car and was last seen speeding toward Port Royal Avenue, police said.

Employees at the store declined to comment to the Daily News Thursday night.

The suspect is described as a black man in his early 20s who is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, police said.

He has short black hair and was wearing a blue, short-sleeved T-shirt with black writing on the front.

Details on the type of ring that was stolen were unavailable. However, the store does sell 10 and 14-karat certified diamond rings worth about $10,000.

Information on the type of car the suspect fled the scene in was not immediately available.
