Hartford Courant -
Police are searching for three men who robbed Lux Bond & Green jewelers on Lasalle Road this morning.
Police say the men smashed at least one display case in the store, possibly with a sledgehammer. Police did not know exactly what was taken.
The incident was reported at 11:41 a.m. Customers were in the store at the time, but no one was injured.
They fled in a dark Nissan Maxima with New York plates EYD 2881.
Police have left the scene, but the store has closed for the day.
Employees could be seen inside, vacuuming broken glass from a number of display cases that were smashed near the front of the store.
A real estate agent at the Coldwell Banker branch on Lasalle Road said she saw a black car parked illegally in a crosswalk before the robbery and had considered calling police.
The woman, who asked that her name not be published, said car was angled so that it was pointing toward the street — not toward the buildings, as cars are usually parked along Lasalle Road.
The woman said she left work shortly after the robbery and saw a sledgehammer on the street near where the black car had been parked.
Guess the woman at Coldwell Banker should have called the cops after all.
They could have at least given the car a parking ticket.
Might have been a good reason to use the SWAT Team equipment too.
Good thing no one was hurt.
