Have you seen this man? Authorities released three surveillance-camera images Monday of a man they say robbed a jewelry store in Coon Rapids on Sunday afternoon, getting away with a 1.6 carat diamond ring valued at $10,000. 

The Anoka County Sheriff's Office is seeking help from the public in identifying the suspect and released this description of the man and the incident: 

On December 30th, 2012 at 4:24 PM hours, a male subject entered a city of Coon Rapids Jewelry store where he met with a sales clerk requesting to look at engagement rings. Upon requesting to see a particular engagement ring for closer inspection, the suspect, described as a white male in his early to mid twenties struggled with the sales clerk  and forcefully took the ring from her and fled out the door on foot. The ring is described as a high end quality 1.6 carat Leo diamond ring valued at over $10,000.00. The female employee was injured during the struggle requiring medical attention.         

The statement did not identify the store and said the case remains under investigation.
