The robber couldn’t even make it out of the store.

Abdul Hassan Abdulraman, 33, was arrested on a grand larceny charge after police say he tried to steal a $13,600 Rolex watch from C.F. Reuschlein Jewelers in Huntington, WV, according to the The Herald-Dispatch. The report says that Abdulraman asked a salesperson to see the watch, and the store’s owner showed it to him. The robber proceeded to make a break for the door, but a customer stopped him before he could exit the store and pinned him to the ground until police arrived. It was the second time in a month that the store had been targeted by thieves.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
