The Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a Yucca Valley jewelry store yesterday. Just after 1 p.m. Thursday, a man entered Marconette’s Jewelry Store in the 57000 block of 29 Palms Highway and asked to see several pieces of jewelry. Once the jewelry was out of the display case, the man grabbed them and fled south of the strip mall. Deputies described the suspect as white, about 20 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with sandy brown hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and gray shorts. Deputies conducted an area search but were unable to locate the suspect or the stolen jewelry. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at 760-366-4175.
