DETROIT (AP) - The FBI believes there’s a firm connection between the attempted robbery of a jewelry store in the Grand Rapids area and a major theft at a store in suburban Detroit.
Detroit FBI chief Paul Abbate (uh-BAIT’) held a news conference Friday to ask the public for information that could lead to arrests in the April 22 incidents. He says he has a “high degree of confidence” that they’re related. There’s a $25,000 reward.
Four people attempted to rob a Paul Medawar jewelry store in Kent County before one of them was shot. Five hours later, more than 100 Rolex watches were stolen at a Tapper’s jewelry store in West Bloomfield, 140 miles away.
