Jewelry Thieves Caught on Video

The Sarasota Police Department is looking for a little help identifying three people officers say stole a number of bracelets from a Main Street store in late July.

The three – two women and a man – are accused of swiping items from Estate Coin and Jewelry, 1650 Main St. on July 29. According to police, one of the women distracted the employee while the other put merchandise into her pocket. She later handed off the goods to the man before the three left the store without paying.

The man is about 25 years old and has braided hair pulled back and tied up. He was last seen wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts. One of the women is between 30 and 40, is about 5 feet, 5 inches in height and is heavy set. The second woman is in her 50s and is also described as heavy set.

Anyone who recognizes these people is asked to call Det. Darrell Nixon at 941-954-7078 or Crime Stoppers at 941-366-TIPS.
