Four subjects entered a jewelry store and walked immediately to the gold cases. Within seconds of entry, one of the subjects pulled a hammer from the waistband of his pants and began smashing the gold cases. Two subjects also kicked the cases until the glass began breaking. The subjects began grabbing the gold along with a few elements and then fled the location. The subjects were in the store for approximately 45 seconds. It is believed this team had a scout that was in the location approximately 30 minutes prior to the incident. This subject was observed taking pictures of the cases. All four subjects and the scout were described as Black males. The four subjects are in their early twenties.
