Police arrested two men accused of stealing over $100,000 in jewelry in four separate thefts.
On February 25, around 6 p.m., police say one of the suspects entered the Sears store at Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The man went to the jewelry department and cut the cable which secured a spinning display case full of jewelry to the main display case, according to investigators.
The suspect then allegedly loaded the entire spinning display case into a shopping cart and left the store. Police say he then entered the passenger side of a red pickup truck outside of the Sears. A second suspect was in the driver’s seat and the two men fled the scene, according to police.
On February 26, another spinning jewelry display case was stolen from the K-Mart on 176 W. Street Road in Lower Southampton Township. Witnesses told police they spotted a red pickup truck fleeing the scene with the letters “ZC” on the registration.
Finally, on February 27, the two suspects were spotted entering the Sears at the Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Once again, police say they stole a spinning jewelry display case before fleeing in a red pickup truck with the letters “ZC” on the registration.
Police also say the suspects were connected to a jewelry store theft at a Walmart in Philadelphia. They did not reveal the date or location of that theft however.
In all, police say the suspects stole over $100,000 in jewelry in the thefts.
On Tuesday, police arrested one suspect in Bensalem and a second on Cumberland Street in the Kensington section of the city. Police have not yet revealed their identities.
Police also say a third suspect is on the loose in connection to the thefts.
