Since our story of the Alvin store robbed off a pricey Rolex aired, two other stores say the same men robbed them using the same method.
Since then, two other store owners in the Houston area said they fell victim to the same heist.
Surveillance video from a jewelry store chain inside Baybrook Mall from May 12 shows a man trying on a Rolex watch worth about $7,500. He directs the employee's attention away and then turns and runs out of the store with the watch. ABC13 also found a jewelry store in Houston with a video of two men with the same descriptions looking at Rolex watches in late April. The owner said one of the men came back two days later, claiming he wanted to buy one worth $75,000 for his girlfriend.
The owner didn't want to appear on camera to protect their business, but she said she is stunned by the fact that thieves are boldly robbing high-end stores in the middle of the day with other customers inside and security on site.
