3 armed robbers hold up Tiffany jewelry store
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Three people held up a Tiffany jewelry store Wednesday in downtown San Francisco and took an unknown amount of jewelry, police said.
San Francisco police said the armed robbers entered the store Wednesday afternoon and ordered everyone to the ground. They then forced an employee to open several cases before fleeing with an unknown amount of jewelry.
Authorities didn't release any other details.
This was the latest in a slew of brazen robberies in San Francisco in the last two months.
Last week, thieves smashed a stolen SUV through the glass doors of the downtown Wells Fargo History Museum and made off with historic gold nuggets on display.
The smash-and-grab tactic has marked other recent heists, including at a Patagonia store near Fisherman's Wharf that was robbed in January by thieves who backed a U-Haul van into the building, loaded it with high-end outdoor clothing and gear, and sped off.
In November, thieves crashed a car into a Chanel boutique and made off with designer handbags.
No one has been arrested in any of the robberies.
