According to a report from the APD, officers responded to a robbery at Kay Jewelers at 1380 Atlantic Drive at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday. Employees advised that a male entered the location and asked where the engagement rings were. The male then produced a handgun and ordered the employees onto the floor. He bound their hands behind their backs and advised them that this would be over soon and told them not to try anything stupid. The male used a set of keys from one of the employees to remove jewelry from several display cases before leaving the location. Officers canvassed the area but did not locate the suspect.
