Ktvus Debora Villalon is in antioch and says the smash and grab fits a recent pattern. Theyre disguised as construction workers, wearing those bright vests and other gear as they enter apparently to avoid attention.

M. , an hour after the summersville town center opened. I heard the hammer. Thats what made me look back. Thats when i saw the construction vest. Reporter four men, at least one with a gun, used hammers to shatter display cases and steal an undisclosed amount of jewelry. It makes me as an owner uncomfortable. Reporter the store owner was relieved his salesman wasnt seriously hurt, pepper sprayed in the face and with glass flying, he was treated for eye irritation and released. After cleaning up the mess, the store remained closed for the day. Im doing it for almost 25 years and ive never seen in the daytime like this that somebody will take out weapons and try to commit this kind of thing. Reporter and that new twist, construction attire. Like this april smash and grab at a watch store in walnut creek. The antioch foursome wore bright construction vests to appear to have legitimate work in the mall. In the walnut creek case, the store owner fought back, and the trio left empty handed. The one guy had a gun. When i saw the gun, i run away.

Reporter simpson was already granted parole for most of the other charges he was convicted of during an Armed Robbery in las vegas in 2007. But hes still serving time for use of a deadly weapon.
