One arrested, two sought in Cary jewelry store heist

Site Search

Cary, N.C. — Police said Monday that one person was in custody and they were searching for two others in connection with a Cary jewelry store robbery.

Three armed men entered J.M. Edwards Jewelry, at 1137 Kildaire Farm Road, at about 10:20 a.m. and fled with $250,000 in jewelry, police said. No injuries were reported.

A Cary police officer who responded to the store alarm detained one of the men as he was exiting the back of the store.

Rodger Kent Williams, 41, of Philadelphia, was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was being held in the Wake County jail.

Police had vague descriptions of the other two robbers, who were wearing masks.

"charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon."

Wait a minute...it is ILLEGAL for a felon to posses a firearm and also to conceal one and to use one in committing another felony...oh wait, that's right background checks don't apply to criminals and they don't recognize any laws...exactly why more laws have zippo affect on crime...only enforcement of existing laws has any tangible result...

"Its the who what"

I suppose the Cary cyber crime unit could track down your real identity and charge you with some sort of slander, etc. At the very least let you know the internet is not as anonymous as some people think, wouldn't that be fun.

Good job for the Cary PD for catching so fast...More crime in Cary though and it along with even more in Raleigh seem to be hitting the headlines more than Durham lately. Lots of robberies, shootings and stabbings going on at an alarming increase everywhere lately.
