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.

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!”
