Brazen jewelry store robbery caught on tape

On February 10, two individuals rushed into a Miami Beach, Florida, jewelry store and made off with roughly $250,000 in jewelry and precious stones, according to local reports.

Security cameras recorded the daring daytime robbery. The suspects wore motorcycle helmets and black clothing as they charged into the store. One individual held an employee at gun point while the other smashed display cases and gathered up the goods, reports local Fox affiliate WSVN.

While police do not currently have any suspects, they are searching for a person of interest, according to WSVN. Shortly before the crime, a man entered the store and requested to see a specific chain from a display case that was later targeted by the criminals. He is only wanted for questioning at this time.

The state of Florida has very strict laws concerning the use of firearms during a crime, according to the state's Department of Corrections. Dubbed "10-20-LIFE," the law mandates a minimum 10-year sentence for certain felonies committed while the perpetrator possesses a gun, a minimum 20-year sentence if the gun is discharged during the crime, and a 25-year-to-life sentence if a person is injured or killed during the crime.
