Snellville jewelry store hit by smash-and-grab burglars

Snellville police Tuesday were looking for three thieves who smashed their way into a jewelry store before daybreak.

Channel 2 Action News reported that the thieves used a manhole cover to smash through the front door of Barron’s Fine Jewelry on Scenic Highway around 4:40 a.m.

A store owner told Channel 2 that surveillance video showed that the three burglars were inside the store less than a minute, smashing eight glass counters and taking jewelry from the cases.
