Mesquite Jewelry Store Heist

More than $2 million in jewelry was stolen over the weekend in a burglary at Town East Mall in Mesquite. Investigators say thieves broke through concrete and sheetrock walls at a neighboring former Sears Department Store to gain access into the jewelry store. An employee discovered the burglary at American Jewelers after arriving at work about 11:00 am Saturday and found a hole in the wall and a large amount of jewelry missing.
