Sonoma Jewelry Shop Robbed At Gunpoint

SONOMA, CA — Two men robbed a jewelry store in Sonoma at gunpoint Thursday afternoon, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said. The men entered Studio Collections, 126 East St. around 4 p.m., sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Crum said. A female employee who was in a back room saw the men enter and said she would be right with them, Crum said. The men walked past the counter, grabbed the woman, brandished a gun, forced her to the floor and handcuffed her, Crum said.

One of the suspects stole jewelry from display cases while the other suspect stayed with the female employee. The men then fled through a rear door and east through the parking lot, Crum said.

The suspects are described as two Hispanic men in their 20s or 30s. Detectives are reviewing surveillance camera footage to identify them.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious Thursday around 4 p.m. or who has other surveillance camera video of the suspects is asked to call the Sonoma Police Department at 707-996-3602.
