"The man walked into the store to view some jewelry, like any person shopping would, and while he was viewing, he decided to leave the store with that particular item without paying," Byrne said. "He ran out the door without paying."
Lt. Byrne described the man as a black male with dreadlocks.
"We are still working on height, weight and physical stature," Byrne said. "We hope to obtain that from the video."
The Edwardsville Police plans to release information later today for the public to observe, Byrne said.
