A jeweler in Waco, TX, is still reeling after his store was robbed of $1.7 million in jewelry on June 17.

Brad Boozer of Boozers Jewelers said the store is “offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of these people and gets my merchandise back,” KWTX-TV reports. The reward would come from his own pocket, not insurance, he said.

In the gunpoint robbery, a man and woman wearing masks entered the store just before closing on a Saturday. They bound two workers and made another get jewelry from display cases.

The store was left with almost no inventory. Boozer said he is rebuilding with new inventory, and the store is open for business.

Police said they do not yet have any leads in the case.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
