CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are searching for an armed robber who tied up a SouthPark jewelry store employee then stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.
Eyewitness News reporter Trish Williford learned how the thief made it past several layers of security during the crime.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department detectives were called to the third floor of a high rise in the 5900 hundred block of Fairview Road just before 7 p.m. Monday when someone called 911 to report they had been robbed.
The robbery happened at the Noel Limited by GMA Designs jewelry store and on Tuesday, it was not open.
The store specializes in custom-made jewelry.
The gunman managed to slip away with watches, rings and other expensive jewelry perhaps because other businesses in the building had already closed for the day, police said.
Detectives are reviewing surveillance video in hopes of catching the culprit.
