Burglars took $1 million merchandise from a New Jersey jewelry store.

The crime happened between 8 p.m. March 27 and 10 a.m. March 28 at Venzio Jewelers in Ocean County Mall, the Toms River Police Department stated on Facebook.

“Entry was made into the rear office area by cutting a hole in the wall of an adjacent empty store,” police said.

“The suspect(s) cut the phone and alarm cables and apparently used a torch to enter a large safe and remove approximately $1 million dollars’ worth of jewelry.”

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!”
