Two men walked away with an $18,000 gold chain lifted from Aly Jewelers, and now Middletown Township Police want the public's help putting names to their faces. The department shared surveillance details of the theft in a social media post titled “ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY,” asking anyone with information to come forward.

According to the Middletown Township Police Department, the two males stole the $18,000 gold chain from Aly Jewelers. The post describes the pair only as a duo wearing two hats, offering few other identifying details to go on.

Police Asking Public to Help Crack the Case

The department's post specifically asks readers to share information that could help identify the men and recover the stolen property. Anyone with details is asked to contact Officer Jim Moratti at 215-949-1000 or by email at [email protected]. No further description of the suspects, their vehicle, or a timeline for the theft was included in the post.

In late September, officers responded to a reported burglary at Michael's Jewelers in the Langhorne Square shopping center on East Lincoln Highway around 8 a.m. on a Sunday, according to Levittown Now. Police said at the time that a significant quantity of jewelry had been taken, though the exact value of the stolen items had not yet been determined.

For now, the identities of the two men in the Aly Jewelers case remain unknown. Middletown Township Police are relying on tips from the community to move the investigation forward, with Officer Moratti's contact information serving as the department's main avenue for anyone who may recognize the suspects or have information about the stolen chain.
