The police report reveals the criminals planned their break-in at Venzio Jewelers, the outlet reported. They entered the store’s back office by cutting through a wall from an adjacent empty space. To remain undetected, they cut the store’s phone and alarm lines. They then used a blowtorch to open the safe and stole the jewelry. The method the thieves used to enter the mall, which closes at 9 p.m., remains unclear, the outlet stated.
