WE NEED YOUR HELP LOCATING A SUSPECT

Today, October 19, 2011 around 5:00 pm, a black male entered American Jewelry on Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna and requested the clerk repair his watch. The clerk serviced the watch and returned it to the suspect who then asked to look at some bracelets. After the clerk removed several trays from the jewelry case, the suspect produced a chrome, semi-automatic handgun and demanded the clerk place the jewelry in a black nylon bag. The suspect then bound the clerk's hands and forced him to lay down in the office. The suspect then exited the store and left in a dark colored, late model two door vehicle, possibly a Toyota Celica or similar styled vehicle.




The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5'8" - 5'10" tall and weighing 160 - 170 pounds. He had goatee style facial hair and appeared to be in his mid-late 30's. He was wearing a dark colored stocking cap with a bill and also wore a black leather jacket. His pants were dark denim and he was wearing a black t-shirt with a multi-color design on the chest. He left the store with stolen cash, a Christian Bernard watch, multiple pairs of diamond stud earrings and multiple bracelets including a large diamond tennis bracelet.



The suspect vehicle is a late model, dark colored, two door car, possible a Toyota Celica. The clerk was able to free his hands and retrieve a shotgun and shoot the suspect's vehicle before the suspect escaped. The vehicle should have damage from a shotgun blast to the right passenger side of the vehicle. The suspect also entered the store wearing a very distinctive and expensive watch. The watch brand is Hublot and has an approximate value of $20,000.


Anyone with information about the suspect or this crime is requested to contact the Smyrna Police Department at (615) 459-6644.

That is one expensive watch.
