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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
