This is what was shared: “The man told his son that a woman came up to him and said that her father knew him and he wanted the man to have two gold chains and some cash. She asked him to come to her car. When he got to the car, they grabbed his arm and stole his Rolex watch. The man went to grab the woman and the thieves drove off and he fell to the ground. The father does not know a lot of English but the woman said that her Dad knew him and want to give him some items – gold chains and some cash. They asked him to follow her to the car. My dad said he followed just to give them back the stuff. When he approached the car, the lady in passenger side grabbed his left arm with the Rolex watch, while a man on the driver seat grabbed my father’s right arm. The lady slipped the watch off my father’s hand and as my father grab hold of the lady, they drove off and my dad fell face flat on the sidewalk.”
The vehicle was either a black Chevy or GMC SUV.
