Around 5 45 this morning, thieves in a pickup truck stolen out of Citrus Heights bust into the front end of tiffanys, a highend Jewelry Store at south main and mount diablo. Four men in hoodies made entry where it appears they spent more time trying to break into that jewelry case than actually stealing jewelry. For a criminal, precious time lost when racing against a security alarm and 911 calls. Police believe they had dreams of filling these blue bins with expensive gold, silver and platinum, dreams dashed with the bins left behind, their haul so small, who do carry it out with their own hands. Police wouldnt say how much the haul was worth, only that it was a small amount of jewelry that was relatively inexpensive, not the really expensive stuff. They estimate the thieves were inside the store for two minutes before escaping. Police say they arrived minute later. Right now, they are looking for those four men. No description yet as they were wearing hoodies. They took off in what looks like a white chevy blazer.
