Local News in Brief : Jewelry Store Robbed; 2 Men Caught, 1 Shot

Burbank police chased down two men Saturday afternoon suspected of robbing a Burbank jewelry store early in the afternoon, but a third suspect, who authorities said was shot by an officer while attempting to escape, was still missing.

Burbank Police Lt. Larry Koch said that Krause Jewelers, located at 101 N. Victory Boulevard, was robbed by three men armed with a handgun at about 1:40 p.m. Saturday.

Store employees phoned police while the men were still in the store, but the three robbers fled from the store and into a waiting automobile as police arrived, Koch said.

Police chased the car, but after about a mile the suspects got out and started running. Using dogs and a helicopter, officers chased and arrested two men, but they were still looking for a third. The names of the suspects in custody were not released.

Police believe the third man was hit by an officer who fired one shot at him.
