A knife-wielding thief stole a $299 watch from a Dandenong Plaza jeweller.
He entered the Angus and Coote store and asked to try on a Jag watch about 4.20pm on Saturday 11 June.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Nic Hayes said the man then left the store without paying.
When store staff approached, he produced a knife and fled towards the Woolworths car park.
“That’s where he was last seen,” Det Sen Const Hayes said.
The thief is described as about 183 centimetres tall, Caucasian and aged between 50 and 60 years with a thin build and gaunt face.
He was clean shaven, spoke calmly and with a deep voice, and was wearing dark blue pants, a dark navy jacket that appeared to be rubbery, blue runners and a grey beanie.
Det Sen Const Hayes urged anyone with information about the theft to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
