Douglasville Police are seeking a lone male suspect who robbed a mall jewelry store of two pairs of diamond earrings Wednesday afternoon.
According to Capt. Chris Womack, the man asked a Marks and Morgan Jewelry sales clerk at Arbor Place mall to show him diamond earrings at about 2:20 p.m. The man grabbed two pairs with a total value of about $12,000 and ran, Womack said.
The suspect dropped one earring just outside the jewelry store but continued running through the nearby Belk store to the parking lot, where he was believed to have been picked up by a getaway vehicle.

Womack said police are still questioning witnesses and following leads in the case.
I work at Arbor Place and was there when this happened. I had heard from mall security that they fled in a green truck. But we never heard if anyone was caught. I work in Loss Prevention and you should never allow someone to hold more than one earring at a time of that price. That was a mistake that I'm sure the clerk regrets.
