Police search for suspects wanted in robbery at Dearborn jewelry store
DEARBORN, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Dearborn police are searching for suspects accused of robbing a jewelry store last week.
The robbery happened at about 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 7 in the 7000 block of Schaefer. No one was injured, according to police.
Police say two men in masks walked into the store with a rifle and demanded employees and customers to get on the ground. One suspect held everyone at gunpoint while the other began putting several items in a bag.
Police did not immediately know what items were stolen.
