MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Police in Medford are looking for a man who hid inside a store at the Rogue Valley Mall and then stole $10,000 worth of jewelry before smashing two glass doors to escape.

The Mail Tribune reports that police suspect the same man may have broken into a car wash minutes later, based on surveillance video at both businesses.

Medford police responded to the mall break-in at about 11 p.m. Monday and found a jewelry counter at a JCPenney store smashed, along with two glass doors.

The man was described as white, about 5-feet-10 to 6 feet tall, with short dark hair and a muscular build. He was wearing a white T-shirt with “American Rag” on the front.
