Police: Man Steals Engagement Ring in Pentagon City Mall

Police car lightsArlington County Police are looking for a man who ran off with a diamond ring while browsing at a jewelry store in the Pentagon City mall.

Police were dispatched to the store around 2:30 p.m. Monday.

A man was in the jewelry store for about 10 minutes looking at rings, said ACPD spokeswoman Ashley Savage. At one point, he allegedly grabbed one of the rings — a diamond engagement ring — and took off running.

So far, police have declined to identify the jewelry store or the release the value of the ring.

The suspect is described as a 6-foot-tall black male in his 40s, with a medium build. He was wearing a tan thermal hat and a zip-up sweatshirt at the time of the crime, we’re told.
