Police Arrest New York Man for 2012 Theft of $30,000 Rolex from Elm Street Shop

By |

Police arrested a 31-year-old Mount Vernon, N.Y. man on a felony charge in connection with the theft in November 2012 of a $30,000 Rolex from an Elm Street jewelry store. On Nov. 19, 2012—about one year prior to the brazen daytime armed robbery at the store—a well-dressed man walked into Henry C. Reid & Son and asked to see the watch, according to a police report. When the jeweler showed it to him, the man grabbed the watch and ran out the front door, the report said. Police were able to identify the man as Charles Moye and their active investigation was closed when they served a warrant for his arrest at 6 p.m. on Aug.

Elm Street jeweler Henry C. Reid & Son is slated to close, according to signs posted throughout the store, though its long-established and popular Fairfield shop will continue to operate. Signs posted inside the bustling New Canaan store on Tuesday afternoon indicated that an owner was retiring. “Must be liquidated,” “Must be sold” and “Retirement sale” signs are hanging from the ceiling of the diamonds and fine jewelry purveyor. It isn’t clear just when the store will close. Representatives from Henry C. Reid & Son could not be reached for comment.
