FALLS CHURCH, Va. - Detectives from the Falls Church Police Department are searching for three suspects who they say stole $100,000 worth of jewelry from a store in the Eden Center shopping mall.
Police said the three suspects entered Princess Diamonds around noon on Friday. One of the bandits pointed a gun at an employee, while another used a hammer to shatter display cases to access the jewelry.
Authorities believe the robbers, who each wore ski masks that covered most of their faces, fled in a black Mercedes-Benz.
