Jewel Thieves Rob Store of $6M in Jewelry, Coins

Lewisville police are searching for two men who pulled off a $6 million jewelry heist in Lewisville early Tuesday.

Investigators said the pair arrived at Harold's Jewelers at about 7 a.m. under the guise of needing a watch battery replaced. When the employee opened the door, one of the men put a gun to the employee's head and ordered for the safe to be safe and a duffel bag filled with jewels and coins.

The duo then ordered the employee into the bathroom while they made their escape.

Capt. Jay Powell with the Lewisville Police Department said the robbery appeared to be a very well organized operation.

The employee was not able to offer a detailed description of the men, who police said also made off with the surveillance video.
