Memphis police have arrested a suspect in connection with the theft of nearly $500,000 in jewelry from a Macy’s store.

Rashad Bonds, 30, is accused of theft of property worth $60,000 to $250,000, WREG-TV reports.

Police say Bonds was one of five men who ran into the store and stole merchandise in a June incident. He was allegedly captured on security video later pawning some of the jewelry at a local shop.

Another suspect was previously charged in connection with the same incident. The store is located in Oak Court Mall.

Police say Bonds was also part of another theft at the same store — one that involved as much as $2 million in jewelry. He allegedly made 10 pawn transactions over a two-and-a-half week period starting May 27.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
