- Share via
Four robbers wearing Halloween masks smashed through the front door of a posh Newport Beach jewelry store today and tied up two employees before escaping with an undetermined amount of jewelry, police said.
The four men forced their way through the front door of Carol Klein Fine Jewelry at Newport Center at about 10 a.m., before the store opened, according to Sgt. Bob Oakley. They took a “substantial” amount of jewelry. The employees said they did not see any guns.
The robbers escaped in a gray Buick stolen Wednesday in Anaheim; police later found it was abandoned a short distance away.
