PHILIPSBURG--Front Street jewellery store Caribbean Gems was burglarised some time between late Sunday night and early Monday morning. The thieves made off with several pieces and the store's digital video recorder (DVR).
The store's alarm went off Sunday around 11:30pm, but when store management arrived everything appeared to be in place. On Monday it was found that the wires of the alarm system had been cut. The system having been disabled, hammering of the wall went unnoticed.
Once inside the thieves ransacked the office and raided the jewellery displays. Store management suspects that the DVR was taken because the thieves assumed footage of the robbery was stored on it.
Thieves also attempted to open the safe by using a blowtorch and breaking the handle. A specialist will be brought in to open the safe to confirm that nothing was taken. The exact value of the stolen goods was not reported.
Police detectives and forensics team arrived at the store to document the crime, collect fingerprints and other evidence.
