Caught on camera: A bad guy bolting from a Bellevue Square jewelry store -- with a $35,000 Rolex strapped to his wrist.
The store's surveillance got a good look at his face though and Bellevue detectives are hoping someone can tell them his name.
"In the video we see a white male walking in and contacting a salesperson inside the store,” describes Bellevue Police Ofc. Tory Mangione. “They sit down at a counter where he takes a look at a couple of watches, he puts on one of the watches, stands up, looks at it and then runs out of the store. It's a pretty brazen move. It's a high-end store. It's a high-end watch and to do so with a store with such surveillance systems, it's surprising they would take such a risk. We want him. This is a high-dollar item and we would really like to get that watch back and catch this guy to prosecute him."
