A jewelry store in downtown Milford was robbed Monday.

Rottermond Jewelers is located at 351 North Main Street. Milford Police Chief Tom Lindberg confirmed a robbery took place, a suspect was in custody and multiple jurisdictions were involved. FBI Special Agent Mara Schneider tells WHMI the male suspect went into store with a gun and demanded a particular piece of jewelry before fleeing. She says the robbery was reported and police were able to locate the suspect in a parking lot.

Schneider says the suspect is believed to have been involved in a number of robbery incidents in Oakland County - more than one of them armed. She says the investigation is continuing and prosecutors are still deciding if the suspect will be charged by the state or federally.
