The suspects reportedly stole more than $100,000 worth of jewelry. They then fled to a stolen vehicle that was waiting nearby with a fourth suspect, police said.

“Police located the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, however, the stolen vehicle failed to stop and a brief pursuit was initiated,” police said.

“The suspect vehicle was abandoned a short distance later and all suspects fled on foot.”
