$16K In Jewelry Stolen From Johns Creek Home

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The Johns Creek Police Department are on the hunt for two subjects accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry from a home.

Officers were dispatched to the home in the 10000 block of Saint Simonds Court around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 28 and met with a neighbor, who said she saw a white, four-door car pull up to a home and two subjects exit the vehicle.

The man, who was wearing a dark blue jump suit, walked up to the front of the house, knocked on the door and proceeded the back of the residence, according to an incident report released by the police department. The woman, who was wearing a black hoodie and carrying a backpack followed the male to the back.

According to the report, the neighbor said the vehicle left the location and returned to retrieve the pair about 20 minutes later. The officer who responded noted the man and woman appeared to have entered the house by kicking in a rear window and leaving through the back door, which was unlocked and partially open, the report states.

Once inside the house, the cop discovered the pair entered the master bedroom and rummaged through the closet. Taken from the home were a diamond wedding ring valued at $10,000, a 24-carat gold necklace valued at $1,000 and an earring anniversary set believed to be worth about $3,000.

The report notes the male, described as either Asian or Hispanic, was about 6'1'' tall and had a slim build. The woman, who also had a slim build was about 5'2'' tall, but no other physical features were provided. No description of the vehicle's driver or the car's license plate was obtained by police. The neighbor did note the vehicle was seen traveling towards State Bridge Road.

The subjects appear to match the same description of two people Forsyth County sheriff's investigators are seeking in connection to a possible burglary reported Nov. 29 at a residence in Southgate Village in Windermere, that agency's Facebook page notes.
