Police are looking for a man and woman they believe worked together to steal a diamond ring worth more than $19,000 from a jewelry store in Mystic, Connecticut.
The woman walked into the N.L. Shaw & Company jewelry store at 50 West Main Street around 4 p.m. on Tuesday. She tried to sell a valuable ring and a large amount of gold to the jeweler, according to police.
The man entered the store just after the woman and asked to see some jewelry, police said. While the employees were distracted, the man reached over the glass case and grabbed the diamond ring.
The jeweler did not buy the items from the woman and she left the store, followed by the man. Based on the woman's actions, investigators believe she and the man who took the ring were working in concert with one another.
The man is described as being in his mid-30s, wearing a green short-sleeve button-down shirt and jeans. Police describe the woman as tall, wearing a red jacket, white shirt and jeans.
Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call Groton Town Police at 860-441-6712.
