East Point police are looking for the bandits who broke into a Kay Jewelers Thursday night, making off with at least $1 million worth of jewelry.

Investigators have few details right now, East Point Police spokesman Cliff Chandler said Friday afternoon.

Someone -- police are unsure if it was one person or more -- forcibly entered the jewelry store at 740 Marketplace Boulevard after it was closed, Chandler said.

They left with an undetermined amount of jewelry, but Chandler said it was at least $1 million.

Chandler said this is the first break-in like this that the East Point police have handled recently, but he's going to contact other law enforcement agencies to see if similar break-ins have happened nearby.
