Atlanta Police Searching for Buckhead Jewelry Store Thieves

Three robbers needed a little more than a minute to steal $5 million worth of jewelry.

Atlanta police say the suspects knew exactly what they were doing when they broke into Elif Fine Jewelry in Buckhead, reported Richard Sangster of WSB Radio. The three men are seen on surveillance video using hammers to break the glass cases and steal the jewels.

“Very bold,” Atlanta police Sgt. Greg Lyon told Channel 2 Action News. 

According to the police report obtained by Atlanta Intown, three people entered the store at 10:50 a.m. on Nov. 7 with guns in hand, faces covered and wearing gloves. The robbers forced the two employees to the floor at gun point

The entire robbery was caught on video surveillance cameras, reported Ben Waldron in his blog for ABC News. At one point in the footage, one of the robbers appears to threaten a store employee to move into a rear room, the intruders are then seen exiting the store with their loot.
