ATL Police Hunt Thieves Who Stole Rolex Watches Worth Nearly $1M

ATLANTA – Atlanta Police are still on the lookout for 6 brazen thieves who robbed the Mayors Jewelry store in Lenox Square Mall on last Friday afternoon in upscale Buckhead.

Police say one man stood lookout while 5 casually dressed men entered the jewelry store on the upper level of Lenox Square Mall. Footage from Mayors security cameras shows the men loitering around the center island where pricey diamonds are on display.

The men then drifted over to the Rolex case at the back of the store. Two of the men produced hammers and smashed the glass cases, grabbing Rolex watches priced upwards of $100,000 a piece. Police estimate the thieves snatched $940,000 worth of Rolex Watches in 30 seconds.

“This was well-coordinated and thought-out,” Sgt. Greg Lyon reported. “They had seconds to commit this and get away.” Witnesses told police the thieves made their getaway in a white 2013 Dodge Caravan that was found abandoned 2 miles away. Within minutes, police located the van, with help from a tipster. Inside the van police found 3 of the Rolexes, T-shirts, tennis shoes, underwear and baseball caps. Police hope DNA left on the items will lead them to the thieves.

The van, which did not have a tag, was reported stolen in Michigan.
