They entered through the roof.

Burglars took more than $1 million in jewelry from a store in Philadelphia, WPVI-TV reports.

Police said the crime appears to have occurred after Kim Thanh jewelry store, which is located in the city’s Lawncrest area, closed Sunday evening.

WPVI reports that a hole in the roof was visible from a helicopter, and a nearby business owner said that’s how the thieves entered.

Power and phone lines were also cut.

Police suspect that the same culprits were also responsible for a burglary at Kim Thanh a couple of months ago, according to the news outlet. In the previous crime, the thieves entered through a wall.

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.”
