'Old Men' Were Actually Jewelry Thieves: Report

BROOKHAVEN, GA — The police are looking for two robbers who disguised themselves as old men to walk into a Brookhaven jewelry store and steal thousands of dollars worth of Rolex watches, say media reports. The pair was caught on surveillance cameras, but disappeared before police arrived.

The two wore masks and were buzzed into the Dresden Drive store at about 11:20 a.m., WSB-TV Channel 2 reported. One was seen walking with a limp.

Once inside, they ambushed the owner and his daughter, tied them up and left them in a back room while they broke into display cases with the Rolex watches.

The owner told Channel 2 that the robbers will probably sell the watches on the street or on Ebay. He's offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the two men.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Greater Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477, text information to 274637 or visit crimestoppersatlanta.org. Tipsters can remain anonymous and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000.
