Phoenix police ask for help in jewelry store robbery

PHOENIX - Police are on the hunt for three suspects who robbed a Valley jewelry store Friday morning.

Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said the men, armed with long guns, entered Jared Galleria of Jewelry near Tatum Boulevard and Larkspur Drive around 11 a.m.

Between eight and 10 people were inside the store when the men entered and held several bystanders at gunpoint as they ransacked the shop.

The suspects then fled the store in a 1990s white Dodge pickup truck.

No one was injured in the incident, Thompson said.

All three men were dressed in black and their faces were covered during the robbery, making it difficult to get specific descriptions.

The suspects are all described as Hispanic men between the ages of 20 and 30 years old and ranging in height from 5 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall.

Anyone with information about the robbery is encouraged to call the Phoenix Police Department Violent Crimes Bureau at 602-262-6141 or SILENT WITNESS at 480-WITNESS, 480-TESTIGO for Spanish.
