Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday, two men entered the Zales Outlet store. The first man through the door approached a store associated and asked to see the engagement rings. The second suspect followed and asked a different employee if he could see some tennis bracelets.

The actors then left the store, calmly walking out the front toward the parking lot.
