Barry Bartel, 36, of Quincy is being charged with larceny over $250, Newton Police said in a statement.

Bartel was arrested without incident this morning at about 9:30 a.m. by Quincy detectives. He is to be arraigned today in Newton District Court.

Lieutenant Bruce Apotheker, a police spokesman, said he didn't know whether the ring had been recovered.

Police have alleged that a surveillance camera recorded video of Bartel fleeing a Shreve, Crump & Low store at the The Mall at Chestnut Hill on Sunday, holding the ring.

  1. Why don't these people think they are going to get away w/ robbing a high end jewlery store?!?! Do they think they don't have surveillance cameras?
    Stupid, stupid, stupid!!! Your not a professional robber like the characters in Ocean's 11. Think before you do something your going to get caught for and spend time in jail.
