The Sacramento police seek the public's help identifying a man suspected of stealing jewelry from two area stores last month.
At 11:45 a.m. June 28, the man (pictured) entered the store in the 400 block of K Street and approached the jewelry section. He asked to see one of the men's rings on display. He placed the ring on his finger and ran out of the store, a Sacramento Police Department news release states.
At 2 p.m. June 29, the same man entered a jewelry store in the 1600 block of Arden Way. He looked at several women's rings during several minutes, then fled with one of the rings. An employee chased the man but lost him when he crossed the street, police said.
The suspect is described as African American, 28 to 32 years old, 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighing 175 pounds, with short black hair. He was wearing a long-sleeve orange shirt over a white T-shirt, and blue jeans. He had a piercing on the right side of his lower lip and a tattoo on top of one hand.
Police urge anyone with information about the crime to call Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357, or text a tip to 274637. Enter SACTIP followed by the tip information. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
