A jewelry store robbed this afternoon and the robbers are still on the loose. This is the second time the El Paseo Jewelry Exchange has been hit in the last month and the third jewelry store robbery on El Paseo in that time.
The El Paseo Jewelry Exchange was still closed late Monday afternoon, as investigators looked for clues. For the second time in two weeks, the store became the target of a jewelry heist.
Sheriff’s say a man and a woman walked into the El Paseo Jewelry Exchange around 1:30. The man smashed the class with his fist, stole some jewelry and ran out the front door, kept open by the woman. When deputies began their search, just minutes later, they couldn’t find the couple that ran down El Paseo. The couple didn’t have a gun and deputies now say at no time were any shots fired.
Eyewitnesses say the woman was Hispanic with platinum blonde hair and a pink jumpsuit. The man is also Hispanic and wore a white shirt and a white baseball cap.
Shoppers on El Paseo are saying that robberies are becoming a little too common for their safety here.
