Robbery in Palms Plaza Parking Lot at Powerline & Palmetto Park
It was a bad day for one jeweler. In early July he was in the parking lot of Palms Plaza where his family owns Raymond Lee Jewelers. A man attacked him and stole his Rolex watch, estimated to be worth $30,000.
William Dublynn (32) was arrested Monday accused of the heist.
His reported address is in the Canyon Isles development in Boynton Beach in a property that appears to be owned by relatives. We see no prior court history for Mr. Dublynn in Palm Beach, Broward or Miami-Dade.
Per reports, Mr. Dublynn sold the watch at the Jewels in Time store on Federal Highway and then unsuccessfully tried to cash the check at a bank in Miami. A warrant was issued for his arrest by a Palm Beach County judge. The details are unclear but it appears Miami police caught up to Mr. Dublynn a few days later and eventually he was brought into Palm Beach County.
In addition to the Robbery and Aggravated Battery charges reported by other media, he faces an additional charge of Dealing in Stolen Property. That charge was filed earlier than the other two and may relate to selling the watch.
Raymond Lee Jewelers is in Palms Plaza, on Powerline south of Palmetto Park Road, behind the Olive Garden.
Mr. Dublynn remains in custody at the Main Detention Center. His bond was set at an unusually high $300,000. He was scheduled to appear yesterday morning in front of Judge Rosenberg on the robbery and battery charges, though the docket doesn’t show what happened. From the stolen property case it looks like he’s been assigned a public defender and has another court date set for Judge Kastrenakes in mid-September.
