South Lake Tahoe Jewelry Store Heist by Four Masked Men

A brazen early morning burglary at Simpson's Jewelers in South Lake Tahoe netted four masked men thousands of dollars worth of merchandise on Tuesday.

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department is searching for the four men who entered the store at 4:30 a.m. using a sledgehammer, grabbed numerous pieces of jewelry from the showcases and then fled in a waiting vehicle.

Images were captured on the store's security camera and are posted here. They aren't very clear, but the police are asking people to view the images and see if they recognize anything about the suspects, such as clothing and size.

Anyone with information concerning this burglary or related information is asked to contact the South Lake Tahoe Police Department at (530) 542-6100 or secret witness at 530-541-6800.
