Camas Police investigate theft at Runyan’s Jewelers

A ring valued at approximately $5,000 was stolen from Runyan’s Jewelers Wednesday, and recovered shortly afterward — thanks to a quick thinking employee and helpful individuals in the downtown Camas area.

A suspect, described as a black male in his 30s, with a stocky build and no facial hair, ran out of the jewelry store, located at 327 N.E. Fourth Ave., at about 1:45 p.m., according to Camas Police Department Sgt. David Chaney.
