Malden Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects accused of brazenly stealing a Rolex watch worth thousands of dollars from an Eastern Avenue jewelry store. The stolen watch was estimated to be worth $25,000, according to reports.

According to Malden Police, the two men are shown in a store video walked into Peroni’s Jewelry on Monday around 4:45 p.m. One man distracts the employee at the counter while the second man removes a Rolex watch from its box, slipping it into his pocket. Video shows the robbery, including one of the suspects tying up the bag with the empty box inside of it.

Police say both suspects fled on foot down Eastern Avenue toward Hillside Avenue before driving away. Anyone who may possess security camera footage in that area around that time is asked to contact Malden Police by calling 781-322-1212.
