Princeton Police have charged 22-year-old Taquan E. Knight, with the Hamilton Jewelers robbery that occurred on October, 5, 2014, when a Rolex Sky-Dweller watch valued at over $46,000 was stolen by a black male who fled the store.

Networking between police agencies in Princeton and Pittsburgh, Pa, led to Knight’s identification.

He was stopped and detained by a store security officer until police arrived. Knight is being held at the Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh on charges stemming from the theft.

Princeton Police charged Knight with one count of second-degree robbery and one count of third-degree theft.  Bail was set at $50,000.00.
