Witnesses told police that one male, believed to be around 19 years old, used a hammer to smash a case containing the Rolex watches. Two other male suspects then joined him in stealing nine watches from the case.
The stolen items are collectively worth $125,000, Troy police said.
All three male suspects were wearing hoods over their heads, face masks covering their noses and mouths, and gloves, officials said. They fled the scene using the mall’s main entrance.
The suspect who smashed the jewelry case was described by witnesses as thin with a dark complexion. Investigators say they are still waiting to receive surveillance footage from mall security.
