MAKING OFF WITH MALL JEWELS

Bakersfield Police are looking for two men accused of swiping a piece of jewelry from a store display case at the Valley Plaza Mall. Officers say the suspects distracted a Helzberg Diamonds employee last month before making off with it, but no details about the item were released.

The first suspect is described as between 35 and 40 years old and 5’7″ and 5’8″ tall with a stocky build. He was last seen wearing a black and white baseball hat, dark colored polo shirt, and white shorts.

The second is described as between 40-50 years old and 5’7″ and 5’8″ tall, with short black hair and a stocky build. He was last seen wearing a gray polo shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots.
