The Greece Police Department is investigating a robbery that occurred at Dubai Jewelry, located inside the Greece Ridge Center Mall, on Monday night.
According to police, at approximately 6:44 p.m., eight suspects entered the mall. Six of them made their way to Dubai Jewelry, while two remained near the vestibule. The suspects, aged 15-25, wore masks and gloves, jumped the store’s counter, and used a baseball bat to smash display cases. Approximately $90,000 of jewelry was stolen, and display cases were damaged by an additional $3,000.
During the incident, a Wilmorite Security officer confronted the suspects but was threatened with a baseball bat. As the suspects fled through the food court toward the exit, another Wilmorite Security officer narrowly avoided being struck by a baseball bat thrown by one of the suspects.
The suspects fled the scene in a dark Chevrolet Malibu that was later located unoccupied on Lang Street by the Rochester Police Department.
