Thieves steal more than $200,000 in jewelry from Underground Atlanta store
ATLANTA - Atlanta police are looking for four thieves they said burglarized an Underground Atlanta jewelry store and took off with more than $200,000 in jewelry.
In a surveillance video, investigators said you could see the crooks make their way into Underground wearing hoodies and gloves; one of them is armed with a crowbar. Detectives said the thieves used the crowbar to pry open the door to Diamond and Company and in less than three minutes, smashed the display cases and stole diamonds, watches and other high-end jewelry.
Investigators said the surveillance video also shows the four crooks running up the stairs with large garbage bags, filled with jewelry. The burglary happened Wednesday just after one in the morning. Police believe the burglary was planned and that the crooks had spent time inside the store, casing it out.
Atlanta Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers 404.577.TIPS.
