PORTLAND, Ore. — The police are dubbing him the “gentleman jewelry thief,” but there wasn’t much genteel about the way a masked man allegedly pushed through the window of a Gresham jewelry store and took two display bins of jewelry.
On his way out, however, he allegedly thanked the three female employees and told them, “It’s OK, ladies.”
Gresham police said the man and the driver of an SUV pulled up outside the jewelry store at a Gresham mall on Thursday night and pushed through the window of the jewelry store using only their collective weight.
The driver returned to the SUV while the suspect collected the jewelry and left.
In a press release, Gresham police said neither suspect displayed or implied that he had a weapon.
