Robbers Hit Jewelry Store for $6M

LEWISVILLE, Texas (AP) _ Authorities are searching for two men who got away with $6 million worth of jewelry and coins in a suburban Dallas jewelry store robbery.

Lewisville Police Capt. Jay Powell said Harold’s Jewelers was just about to open Monday morning when a man came to the door indicating he needed a battery for his watch.

When a store employee opened the door, the man brandished a weapon and, accompanied by another suspect, forced the employee to empty the contents of the safe into two black duffel bags, Powell said.

The store employee was not injured. The employee says the men took the store’s video recorder.
