On 3/14/23, at approximately 4:25 p.m. two male subjects approached a jewelry kiosk in a mall. One of the subjects pulled out a hammer and started to smash the gold showcase. A team member yelled at the subject to stop, and the subject “giggled”. The smashing produced a small hole in the case and the subject reached in and grabbed seven chains. After reaching in, the subject noticed his arm and hand were bleeding and the two fled.
