a battery for his watch
Dec. 30--In one of the biggest robberies in Lewisville's history, two men robbed Harold's Jewelers of an estimated $6 million worth of jewelry and coins early Monday, police said.
The store in the 1200 block of West Main Street was just about to open when a man came to the door indicating he needed a battery for his watch, police Capt. Jay Powell said Tuesday.
When a store employee opened the door, the man tiffany a weapon. He and another man and forced the tiffany jewellery to empty the contents of the safe into two black duffel bags, Powell said.
The employee, who was not injured, was told not to look at the suspects but gave police a description of one of the men.
During the robbery, the suspects took the store's video necklaces so police don't have any photographs of them, said the store employee, who asked not to be identified.
The man, who confirmed police estimates of the loss, said Harold's Jewelers has been in business for 30 years, and this is the store's first robbery.
