They’re suspected in other cases, too.

Police in New Rochelle, NY, have arrested two suspects in a $1 million jewelry-store burglary — and they suspect the men may have also been been involved in a string of similar crimes.

Kevin Young and Kevin Lyde stand charged with third-degree burglary and first-degree grand larceny, the Journal News reports. Both are 55 years old.

The men are accused of burglarizing New Rochelle Coin Stamp & Jewelers. They allegedly entered by cutting a hole in the roof.

And now they’re suspected in several other burglaries that took place in Port Chester and New Jersey, and they’re being looked at in connection with some that occurred in Nassau County and New York City, as well, the newspaper reports.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
