ST. GEORGE, Utah, May 2, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a knife-wielding thief in a St. George jewelry grab-n-dash that netted him more than $40,000 worth of hot rocks.
The suspect was captured on store surveillance cameras, with seven photos released by the St. George Police Department Thursday night, including a 19-second video of the suspect eluding an attempted tackle.
“On April 29, 2024, a male enters the business at approximately 5:35 p.m.,” the department said of the robbery at Jonny Roxx. “He grabs $40,000 in jewelry and runs out of the business.”
The suspect threatened a store employee with a knife as he fled, police said. He has a large scar on the left side of his head, and he may be driving a newer model, white Kia car, which he drove from the crime scene.
“The female in the photos is not considered a suspect at this time, but police are very interested in speaking with her about this incident. We are asking for the public’s help in identifying these two individuals.
“Please contact SGPD at 435-627-4300 with any information and refer to incident number 24P011393. Thank you!”
