FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police are searching for a pair of crooks who robbed a jewelry store inside Galleria Mall.

The robbery occurred at Zales on Feb. 19, just before 7 p.m. Investigators said the two men cased the store just prior to the robbery. A short time later, one of the two men returned, posing as a customer.

The crook requested to see a couple of diamond rings and snatched them from the employee before fleeing.

The thief fled in a silver or gray vehicle, believed to be a Hyundai Sonata.

If you have any information on this heist, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
