The Tyler Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying a man they say dressed as a delivery driver and robbed a jewelry store.

A Zales employee contacted the police department on Dec. 28 to report a theft at the store in The Village at Cumberland Park, 8926 S. Broadway Ave. 

Investigators said Zales’ employees told them a man wearing a uniform resembling a UPS employee entered the store and asked the employees if they had any outgoing packages of jewelry for him to pick up.

Police said an employee gave the man a package containing jewelry valued at $63,000. The suspect exited the store with the property, according to police. 

The suspect is described as having a medium build and being in his late 40s or 50s. Police believe the suspect was driving a Silver Hyundai Elantra.

Anyone with information about the suspect or suspects involved in this crime is urged to contact the Tyler Police Department at 903-531-1000 or Crimestoppers at 903-597-CUFF. 

Crimestoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest and charges filed against the suspects in this case or any felony case.
