Two men burst into a Tysons Corner Center jewelry store Monday night, smashed a display case with a crowbar and then fled with fistfuls of diamonds, Fairfax County police said Tuesday. No one was seriously hurt.
The men entered Movado, located on the first level near Nordstrom, about 8:20 p.m. They did not display any weapons, police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said, but they did push store employees out of the way, injuring one woman slightly when she was knocked down. The men smashed one case, stuffed "several thousand dollars worth" of jewelry into a bag, Caldwell said, and then ran away through the mall.
No surveillance photos or video of the incident were available Tuesday. The men were not wearing masks, but they did wear blue hooded jackets over ball caps, Caldwell said. Both were described as black men, about 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 230 pounds. One man wore tan boots and one man had a mustache. Anyone with information about the heist is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
