Atlanta police are on the hunt for a bold shoplifter who made off with a pricy timepiece from the Louis Vuitton store in Lenox Square. The heist happened on Sunday afternoon, and now there’s a call for the public’s help in catching the bandit.
The unidentified man reportedly swiped a $3,700 Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up watch, a combination of style and tech in black and silver. He wasn’t shy about it either, lifting the luxury item in plain sight before making his getaway, FOX 5 Atlanta reports. The store’s security, albeit quick to react, couldn’t nab the thief in time.
The police have been provided with a photo of the suspect and are appealing to anyone with information to step forward. Atlanta News First shared that there’s even a $2,000 reward on offer for tips leading to an arrest. Thieves hitting high-end shops have become all too common, but law enforcement and businesses alike are determined to clamp down on such brazen daylight robberies.
Anyone looking to do their civic duty by providing a lead can do so anonymously through Crime Stoppers Atlanta. Tips can be submitted by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477), or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637), according to Atlanta News First.
