Police searching for $15,000 ring theft suspect

Puyallup police are searching for a suspect they say stole a $15,000 ring from a jewelry store employee's hands.

On Dec. 5, a man walked into a Zales and asked an employee to see a diamond ring.

Police said after the employee held out the ring, the suspect looked at it, grabbed the ring from her hand and fled. As the suspect left the store, another employee stepped in front of the suspect, but the suspect pushed the employee as he ran from the store into the parking lot.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call the Puyallup police tip line at 253-770-3343 or tips@ci.puyallup.wa.us.
