Three burglars stole a safe from a jewelry store in downtown Miami.

The thieves cut through the wall of the store from a closed-down business next door, according to a bulletin from the Jewelers’ Security Alliance. They tried to disable the store’s surveillance system and computers.

At 5:20 a.m. on Sept. 18, the suspects wheeled the safe out the front door, hoisted the safe onto a truck and drove away, reported.

WSVN-TV identified the store as Mitch the Jeweler. Nearly $3 million in jewelry was taken, according to the report.

The owner, who was not identified in the news report, is offering a $50,000 reward for information in the case.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
