Smashing of display case reportedly sounded like gunfire.

A mall in suburban Detroit was evacuated after a smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store, according to the Detroit Free Press. The newspaper reports that police evacuated Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, Michigan, after a suspect entered Tapper’s jewelry and smashed a display case, making a sound that some shoppers believed was gunfire. A mall spokesman said no shots were fired, and that the mall increased security patrols after the incident. The suspect was one of three who entered the mall, while a fourth waited outside in a car.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
