A man armed with a hammer smashed and stole from a jewelry store in the Pentagon City mall Thursday morning.
Arlington County police say they were dispatched to the 1100 block of S. Hayes Street around 11:15 a.m. and arrived to find that “an unknown male subject [had] walked into the business, smashed the display cases with a hammer and stole jewelry.”
Officers searched the area but couldn’t find the suspect, who was wearing a black hooded jacket, face covering and ball cap.
While police don’t typically reveal the names of businesses that are the victims of crimes, on social media it was reported that the store was the Kay Jewelers, on the first level of the mall near Nordstrom.
Just spoke to a @Nordstrom employee who told me that @KayJewelers at @FashionCtrPC was the target of a smash-and-grab theft earlier today! @simonmalls @ARLnowDOTcom #CartChaosNewsNetwork pic.twitter.com/jbcg8z2S6V
