On 4/4/22, at approximately 3:52 p.m., a retail jewelry store experienced a smash & grab.� At 3:22 pm a subject believed to be connected to the robbery entered the store and examined the gold chains and earrings area.� The subject then asked if the gold chains were solid and if the diamond earrings were real.� The subject then exited the store after approximately two minutes.� Thirty minutes later, two subjects entered and walked straight to the gold chains where subject #1 broke the glass with a hammer.� Subject #2 then takes the chains, and bracelets and loads them into the backpack worn by subject #1, as subject #1 begins to smash the diamond earring case.
After selecting items out of the diamond earring case, both subjects fled the scene after approximately two minutes in the store.� Six gold chains were recovered along the subject’s escape route.� Gold/diamond pendants and men’s diamond bands were also taken.� The two subjects were described as Black males. Both subjects are in their 20’s. The first subject wore a mask, gray puffy hooded sweater, black pants, gray/black shoes, orange/tan backpack. He carried a metal sledgehammer with a yellow handle, and black/gray gloves with orange color on thumbs.
