He’s hell on wheels.
A jewelry thief posing as a wheelchair-using customer snatched a $27,000 Rolex, pepper- sprayed a security guard — and then ran from the Connecticut store on his perfectly healthy legs, police said.
The dapper thief wheeled himself into the Sidney Thomas Jewelry store in Stamford around 2 p.m. Saturday and asked a female jeweler to show him the pricey watches in a display case, police told NBC Connecticut.
After trying on three Rolexes, the thief stunned employees and security guards by jumping up and scrambling toward the door, pepper-spraying a worker who tried to grab him.
A security guard rushed into the store when he heard the commotion and was also pepper-sprayed, according to Stamford police.
The man then bolted with the timepiece around his wrist.
The first two watches he tried on were estimated at about $85,000 each — more than three times as much as the watch he stole.
The suspect left his hat and wheelchair at the scene, both of which will be tested for DNA, cops said.
