It happened around 6:25 p.m. at Gordons Gold Jewelers at 760 Hyde Park Rd. when police allege two men wearing masks arrived in a vehicle, entered the store, and directed staff to get on the floor.

Police allege the suspects smashed the display cases with a sledgehammer, took jewelry, and escaped in a waiting car.

Officers arrived quickly, police said, and followed a vehicle to Oneida First Nation and an address along River Road.
