Seattle Police Seek Suspect in Tiffany's Bracelet Theft Seattle, WA – Seattle Police are investigating a brazen theft from a local Tiffany & Co. store. Security footage shows a man, whose identity remains unknown, selecting a $27,000 bracelet, trying it on, and then attempting to flee the store. A security guard intervened, grabbing the suspect as he ran. However, in the ensuing struggle, the suspect's jacket was removed, allowing him to escape with the stolen jewelry.

"The quick actions of our security guard prevented a greater loss, and we are grateful that the bracelet was eventually recovered." Remarkably, the stolen bracelet was later recovered.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in identifying the suspect. This case highlights the importance of vigilance in high-end retail establishments. The swift response of the security guard, though ultimately unsuccessful in apprehending the suspect, is commendable and demonstrates the ongoing efforts to prevent such crimes.
