Jewelry thieves hit a Macy’s store in Hawaii only a few days after an announcement that location would close.

About $20,000 in merchandise was taken in the burglary, which happened at just before 4 a.m. Monday, HawaiiNewsNow reported.

The store is located at the Kukui Grove mall in Lihue.

Kauai police were alerted to the crime by a glass break alarm. Doors and several jewelry cases were broken.

Macy’s announced earlier this month that it would close five stores across the country, including the Lihue location. The company is also cutting 2,300 jobs across the U.S.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
