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.
