Police are searching for a man who they said stole a $40,000 watch from a store at the King of Prussia Mall.
According to the Upper Merion Township Department, on Tuesday, May 28, around 3:35 p.m., officers responded to the Breitling store inside the mall after receiving reports of a theft.
Upon arrival, police said officers spoke to store employees and learned that an unknown man had entered the store and asked to see several different watches that were on display.
As a store associate removed a tray of watches from a locked display case, the man quickly grabbed a watch from the tray and fled out of the store, police said.

This is not the first time the Breitling has been robbed. Back in September, an unidentified man had made off with a luxury watch.
