Wild video shows smash-and-grab thieves trash Connecticut jewelry store
A pair of masked thieves armed with heavy hammers committed a brazen midday smash-and-grab heist at a jewelry store in Connecticut Thursday afternoon.
Police in Westport said on Facebook they’re searching for the culprits, who drove away in a black BMW sedan after bashing in several display cases at Lux Bond & Green.
“Employees of the store reported two individuals wearing masks and gloves entered the store with sledgehammers and began smashing display cases with sledgehammers,” cops said. “The employees safely retreated to the rear of the store and had no interaction with the suspects.”
How much merchandise the thieves stole wasn’t immediately clear. The store did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
