West Whiteland investigators have issued warrants for 2 of 4 suspects
Keith Walker
Continuing an investigation into a brazen, $15,000 jewelry heist last month, the West Whiteland Township Police Department has obtained a second arrest warrant for a Philadelphia resident, police said.
Earlier this month, police identified Kevin Blagmon, 57, of the 2000 block of North Stillman Street in Philadelphia, as one of the four men involved in the theft, which occurred at approximately 4:15 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 27, at the Zales store in the Exton Square Mall, police said. On Wednesday, Jan. 29, police said they have also issued a warrant for Keith Walker, 52, also of Philadelphia.
Police said both suspects appear to be attempting to evade arrest; investigators are still working to identify the other two.

Investigators gave this account: Store employees reported that while one man waited outside, three males entered the store and separated once inside. The subjects spoke to different employees and asked to look at jewelry. None of the subjects made a purchase, and soon after they left the store, employees discovered two diamond rings valued at approximately $15,000, missing from a display cabinet.
Anyone with information on the theft or the whereabouts of the suspects is urged to contact the West Whiteland Township Police Department at 610-692-5100. Persons wishing to remain anonymous can call the tip line at 610-594-9057 or send an email to tips@westwhiteland.org.
