Rolex Stolen By 'Potential Buyer'

Victim Wanted To Sell $6,000 Watch On Craigslist, But Was Robbed At Bank

A Farmington Hills man was robbed of his $6,000 Rolex watch when he went to sell it to a Craigslist buyer.

After securing a buyer for the watch, the victim met up with the potential buyer on Nov. 17 at the National City Bank on Orchard Lake Road.

The victim asked the potential buyer for identification. According to police, the potential buyer left the bank and returned with another man who showed proper ID.

The second man put the watch on his wrist and ran out of the bank, said police. The victim caught the thief and a struggle ensued. Both men escaped and jumped over a brick wall behind the bank.

Police said the victim drove around with hopes of locating the two men but he couldn't find them.

Both suspects are described as black males ages 17 and 20. The case is currently under investigation.

Anyone with information in regards to the robbery is asked to call the police.
