LAWRENCEVILLE, GA -- In less than thirty seconds, two men managed to steal about $100,000 in jewelry from a local jewelry store, according to Gwinnett County Police. Investigators need the public’s help to identify the two robbers who on April 15 walked into the Crescent Jewelers at 5900 Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville.
