Thieves took $1.2 million in jewelry and watches from a jewelry store in Spartanburg, SC.

They broke into Queens Jewelers at WestGate Mall at about 8:30 p.m. on March 6, WYFF-TV-reports.

A group of three people took Rolex and Cartier watches along with diamond bracelets, necklaces and rings. Another person stood guard. The crime was captured on security footage, and the suspects remain at large.

“Somebody out there knows about this,” said Nikki Punjwani, one of the store owners. “They have to; they have to help us because if they keep doing this to small businesses, how can anyone survive?”

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
