Ring worth $20,000 stolen from local store; two men sought

Police were looking for two men Thursday after they stole a ring worth more than $20,000 from a Killeen jewelry store.

The theft was reported just after 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Zales store at 2100 W.S. Young Dr.

The two men entered the store and requested to see the ring, police said.

An employee allowed one of the two to look at the ring, and then both suspects ran, taking the ring with them, police said.

Both men were black.

One was in his 20s with a small Afro and brown eyes. He was wearing a black and yellow jogging suit with a jaguar or lion logo on the front and back.

The second was also in his 20s and has short black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing blue jeans, white shoes, a white tank top and a blue jean jacket with “Nicki Minaj” on the back.

The two may have escaped in a white sedan.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 9254) 526-TIPS.
