PICKERING -- Police are hoping the release of security camera images will help them nab a suspect in a theft from the Pickering Town Centre.

The suspect snatched a valuable bracelet from the People's Jewellers store at about 10:30 Tuesday morning, Durham cops said. The suspect had spent some time in the store, examining bracelets and asking questions before fleeing with the item, described as a tennis-style bracelet with diamonds.

The man, described as having a dark complexion and a slender build, had short dark hair and wore Ray-Ban sunglasses, and had an earring in his right ear, police said. He wore dark pants and shoes and a white dress shirt with blue stripes, and was using an IPhone.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2521, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
