Appeal after thief targets Wrexham Jeweller’s shop

Police are appealing for witnesses after a thief snatched two rings at jewellers in Wrexham.

The incident happened at Ernest Jones in Hope Street at about 5.15pm today, when a man entered the shop and asked to look at some rings.

As he was being shown some rings at the rear of premises he grabbed two silver solitaire diamond rings and ran out of shop turning towards Regent Street.

He is described as white, about 5ft 6ins tall and between 25 and 35 years of age. He was wearing a dark jacket, a green T-shirt, black shorts, white trainers and a black baseball cap.

No threats were made, no weapons were produced and no one was hurt.

PC Daniel George said, “We are appealing to any witnesses who may have seen this individual or may have any information which could assist our investigation to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference number V132299.”
