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?”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
