Suspect steals gold necklace from Chico Mall jewelry store - Chico Enterprise-Record
CHICO — A jewelry store in the Chico Mall was robbed Saturday night, and the suspect is still being sought, Chico police said.
A white or Hispanic man wearing a black San Francisco Giants baseball cap with a white brim and a black petticoat-style jacket walked into Kay Jewelers around 8:55 p.m. and requested to see a gold necklace. When the necklace was shown to him, he promptly fled with the necklace, police said. An employee was pepper sprayed by the suspect after the employee tried to grab him as he fled.
The suspect is believed to have run out the main doors on the south side of the Chico Mall and gotten into a black or blue BMW sedan, parked in front of the entrance, before fleeing the area just prior to police arrival.
The Chico Police Department is requesting anyone with information to contact the department at 897-4910.
