Walker’s rings stolen when man grabs dog

BRUNSWICK – Police were looking on Friday for a man they believe stole two rings worth nearly $25,000 from a woman after grabbing her dog.

Police Detective William Collins said a Harpswell woman was walking her Shih Tzu on Monday on Windy Breeze Road off Princes Point Road. That’s when a man picked up the dog and demanded the rings if she wanted the dog back.

Police said the woman gave up her rings, and that the suspect fled on foot after returning the dog. Police said the rings were a 6.57-carat sapphire with diamonds valued at $18,500 and a .96-carat diamond solitaire valued at $5,000.

The suspect is described as a professional-looking, clean-shaven white man in his late 20s or early 30s.
