Atlanta Police are looking for a suspect that stole a watch valued at $57,000 from a Lenox Square jewelry store.

Officers were dispatched on July 3 to  inside Lenox Square, where they learned that a male suspect initially entered the store and asked to view a Rolex watch. He then viewed the watch and left the store, the report states.

The suspect came back a short time later, however, and asked to see the watch again. He was then taken into a back room to try the watch on. At that point, the suspect put the watch on and ran out of the store.
