BREA, Calif. (KNX) — Police are searching for two male suspects accused of stealing items from a Brea-area jewelry store in a smash-and-grab robbery, authorities said Saturday.
The suspects entered the Kay Jewelers store located at 1010 Brea Mall Road just before 7 p.m. Friday. The thieves reportedly used hammers to break glass display cases and stole the items inside, according to Brea police.
The suspects fled the scene immediately after the alleged robbery. They have been described as two males in their late teens to early 20s, standing between five feet and nine inches and six feet tall, weighing between 170 and 180 pounds. They wore black hoodies, red sweatpants, and masks.
Witnesses reported to law enforcement hearing gunshots, but investigators determined this was in fact the sound of hammers breaking display glass.
Brea police have asked that anyone with information regarding the robbery contact them at (714) 990-7166.
