More than $200,000 in jewelry was stolen in a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in Montclair Place Mall Thursday evening, but not before store employees were able to land a few shots of their own.
It was just after 6 p.m. when three men came in to Anthony and Co. Jewelers armed with sledgehammers, according to Eduardo Haro and Griselda Martinez, who were behind the counter when the attack began.
With all of the news articles about these types of robberies in the last few years why anyone that owns a jewelry business has not installed cases with bullet proof glass is beyond me. Yep, they'll be expensive. What's more expensive, the cases or loosing your stock to a bunch of Amish, then having to fight the insurance company for recompense and probably losing your insurance policy or having the premiums go so high that they're unaffordable. Course a couple of 12 gauge pumps with cylinder bore 20" barrels and #4 buck or #2 bird shot, strategically located, would be good too.
I love how they called the thieves "black gentlemen". A firearm would have been much better deterrent than a calculator.

Starker here, Brandon said we should use double barrelled shotguns & shoot through the door.
