Thieves steal pricey items at Brickell jewelry store – WSVN 7News ... - 7News - WSVN-TV
MIAMI (WSVN) - A high-priced heist took place at a jewelry store in Brickell, early Tuesday morning.
According to Miami Police, officers arrived to the scene just after the pair of thieves had broken into Brickell Jewelers, a jewelry store located in the Shops at Mary Brickell Village, along South Miami Avenue and Southwest Ninth Street.
Police said the thieves broke into the business through the window dressed in all black with ski masks over their heads. The two subjects are described as black males.
Surveillance video from inside the store captured the thieves’ attempts at breaking into the store, before managing to make their way inside, around 6 a.m. They were inside for a little more than 30 seconds but fled the scene with high-priced jewelry and watches.
Cases were smashed in and broken glass was left everywhere.
Police closed off the area as they investigated the robbery, Tuesday morning. As of 5 p.m., it is too early for an estimate on how much the jewelry crooks took.
7News spoke with the store owner who said these kinds of crimes are expected considering where they are located but added he cannot afford to close down for the holiday season.
“It’s horrible. It’s just a waste of time, especially right now with the holiday season,” said store owner Daniel Nissim. “Our top goal is to prepare for Christmas and the sales for the holiday season, and right now all we can do is just figure out how to fix the mess.”
Miami Police have issued a Be On The Lookout order for a newer model, black Chevy Tahoe that fled the scene with the subjects inside.
If you have any information on this heist, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
