Brazen smash-and-grab jewelry store mall robberies continue: Storm stores duringday
Another week, another story of a brazen smash-and-grab jewelry store heist.
Gordon's Jewelers at First Colony Mall in Sugar Land suffered the most recent attack, as KTRK Ch. 13 first reported. A surveillance video from Feb. 22 shows four masked men storming the store, smashing display cases, stealing merchandise and running from the scene in less than a minute. Eyewitnesses say that the suspects got away in a dark blue or green Toyota Tercel.
This is just one in an outbreak of other robberies over the past several months: A $355,000 heist at Ben Bridge Jewelers at the Galleria, just days before Christmas; a swift, early afternoon sledgehammer attack on a Zales outlet in Harris County in late January; and rush hour assault on another Ben Bridge Jewelers at Memorial City Mall, where suspects absconded with $400,000 worth of watches — just to name a few.
In each case, the robbers have taken jewelry store by surprise during business hours, breaking the glass on display cases with hammers or other tools and escaping with wares in a matter of moments. No one has been harmed, and no arrests have been made.
The building at 4911 will be torn down for the new greenspace. Holland Lodge No. 1, A.F. & A.M./Facebook
