Caught On Camera: Man Tries On, Steals Expensive Watch From Macy's

FAIRFIELD (CBS13) — Police are searching for information about a suspect who stole a watch from Macy's last week.

Our #SocialMediaSleuths have been extremely helpful in the past at identifying suspects. We are sure that someone can come through this time as well. This thief went into Macy's on Saturday and asked to try on a very expensive watch. He must have liked the way it looked on his wrist but didn't want to spend the money. After admiring it for a few seconds he decided to take it home without paying for it. If you recognize the man in the photo please contact us at (707) 428-7300 and reference case 19-13342. Since we are aware that the photo is not the best quality we are also linking the video. Hopefully, between the two, someone will be able to help us identify the thief.
