On Wednesday, Miami police arrested a woman after she stole a Rolex valued at $15,000 from a man's wrist.
The incident occurred earlier on the same day when the watch was removed from the victim. The suspect fled the scene driving away with the timepiece.
The Rolex involved is a luxury timepiece typically valued at $15,000, a price point that reflects its brand reputation and market demand.
Miami police said investigators reviewed available evidence, including any surveillance footage and statements from witnesses, to identify the individual who took the watch.
The suspect was located later in the day and taken into custody at approximately 15:32 UTC. Officers recovered the Rolex at the time of the arrest.
Authorities indicated that the woman now faces charges that may include grand theft and possession of stolen property under Florida statutes.
The victim reported the loss to police shortly after the watch was removed from his wrist, prompting the rapid investigative effort.
Police confirmed that the Rolex’s market value is approximately $15,000 based on its model and condition.
The arrest ends the initial investigative phase, and the matter will move forward through Miami’s criminal court system.
According to the report, the victim was wearing the Rolex on his wrist when it was taken, and he immediately notified authorities after noticing the absence.
Police records show the suspect left the location in a vehicle, prompting officers to issue a pursuit and subsequently locate her within the city limits.
The recovered Rolex was returned to the victim pending further legal proceedings.
