Michigan men nabbed at Villages jewelry store

Jewelry Design

Two Michigan men were nabbed when they reportedly returned to the scene of the crime where they had allegedly attempted to fraudulently obtain Rolex watches.

The men had visited Jewelry Design at La Plaza Grande on Dec. 14 and obtained a $8,999 Rolex Sub Mariner watch, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. They had paid for the watches using two credit cards which were later determined to be fraudulent. They also requested that the store order five more Rolex watches.

The men returned to the store on Saturday and police were immediately summoned. The men were found to be in possession of two Rolex watches and there was an instrument in their vehicle used for making credit cards.
