NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are searching for four men who were captured on camera snatching thousands of dollars in merchandise from a jewelry store inside the Mall at 163rd Street.
Surveillance video showed the subjects casing C & S Jewelry, at around 8 p.m., Dec. 15.
Minutes later, another camera captured them running inside. One of the robbers, seen wearing a blue baseball cap and a blue and black jacket, smashed a display case with a hammer while two others jumped the counter, pushed an employee out of the way and grabbed as many goods as they could.
“Like, shame. It’s hard. It’s horrible,” said shopper Brandon Hamilton.
According to Miami-Dade Police, the thieves took off moments later when the owner of the store came out from the back with a gun.
The video shows one of the subjects tripping over a large potted plant as he runs out of the store.
“It’s crazy. They should have more security, more supervision on the mall,” said Hamilton.
Officials said the men got away with about $10,000 worth of jewelry.
Three of the men had their faces covered, but the security footage captured the fourth subject’s face, so investigators are hoping someone will come forward with information about their whereabouts.
If you have any information on this smash and grab, 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.
